Licence of trade marks

Using this document, a trade mark owner may licence rights in trade marks to another person. The trade mark rights may be registered or unregistered or both. The rights granted will vary from licence to licence. The document is relatively flexible, and may be edited to the advantage of either party.

The trade mark licence assumes that the rights in question arise under English law.

In English law, licences of registered trade marks must be written down and signed by the licensor, or by a person acting on behalf of the licensor. Some licences should be registered with the relevant authorities; in the case of UK registered trade marks, that means the UK Intellectual Property Office.
