Document Description

A trademark license agreement is a legal agreement between two parties, the Licensor and Licensee, where the Licensor grants the Licensee a license to use its trademark. This agreement sets out the terms and conditions governing the use of the Licensor's trademark, including the licensee's obligation to pay royalties, the duration of the agreement, and the scope of the licensee's rights to use the trademark.

The Licensor is the owner of the trademark, and the Licensee agrees to use the trademark only in accordance with the Brand Guidelines approved by the Licensor. The agreement defines terms such as "exclusive" and "non-exclusive," "Territory," "Net Sales," and "Royalty" to clarify the scope of the license granted to the Licensee. The agreement also provides for the Licensee's obligation to assist the Licensor in maintaining the trademark and filing new trademark applications.

The Licensee must pay the Licensor a royalty calculated as a percentage of the Net Sales of the licensed products or services. The Licensee is required to pay the royalty within a specified number of days after the end of each quarter of the year.

The Licensor grants the Licensee a license to use the trademark for a specified term, subject to the terms of the agreement. The Licensee acknowledges that to the extent the license granted relates to territories in which the Licensor has not registered the trademark, the Licensor only licenses the unregistered right, title, and interest in the trademark which it owns, if any.

The Licensor shall record the license granted by it with the Trademark Office, and the Licensee shall assist the Licensor at its cost in maintaining registrations for the trademark in the Territory. On the early termination of this agreement, the Licensor and Licensee shall notify in writing the Trademark Office and any other relevant authorities.

In conclusion, a trademark license agreement is an important legal document that governs the relationship between a Licensor and Licensee with respect to the use of a trademark. It sets out the terms and conditions of the license, including the duration, scope, and royalties to be paid, and provides for the maintenance and registration of the trademark.
