About Our Service

What Does It Mean to License Your Trademark?

To license your trademark means allowing another person or business to use your trademark while you remain the legal owner. The permission is given under agreed terms, conditions, and time period.

 

When you license your trademark, the licensee can use the brand name, logo, or mark for business purposes. Ownership stays with you, and usage rights are controlled through a licensing agreement.

 

Can You License a Trademark in India?

Yes, trademark licensing is legally allowed in India under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. A registered trademark owner can license their trademark to one or more parties.

 

The license must be documented properly and, in many cases, recorded with the Trademark Registry. This helps ensure legal clarity and protects both the trademark owner and the licensee.

 

When Should You License Your Trademark?

You may license your trademark when you want to earn revenue without selling ownership. Licensing is also useful when expanding into new markets without direct investment.

 

Trademark licensing is common when collaborating with partners or allowing controlled brand usage. It helps grow brand presence while retaining ownership rights.

What is a Trademark Licensing Agreement?

A trademark licensing agreement is a legal document that defines how the trademark can be used by the licensee. It includes details such as usage rights, duration, territory, and royalty terms.

 

This agreement protects the trademark owner’s rights and sets clear boundaries for usage. A properly drafted agreement helps avoid misuse and future disputes.

 

Who Can License a Trademark?

A registered trademark owner can license their trademark to another party. In some cases, an authorized owner of a pending trademark application may also license usage.

 

The license can be granted to individuals, companies, or business entities. Proper authorization and documentation are required in all cases.
