Trademark License Agreement

A Trademark License Agreement permits the use of a registered mark under defined quality and brand standards. This playbook covers negotiation of territorial rights, royalty models, and enforcement of brand integrity.

License Scope & Use

Why This Matters: An overly broad scope increases exposure to unauthorized uses, while an overly narrow scope can restrict commercial opportunities. Clear boundaries mitigate infringement risks and preserve expected value.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Licensor:

Negotiate for a broad scope to maximize usage opportunities. Ensure the territory and field of use align with business goals. Seek flexibility in sublicensing and derivative creation.

If you're the Licensee:

Define a narrow scope to maintain control over the licensed rights. Limit the territory and field of use to prevent unauthorized exploitation. Restrict sublicensing and derivative works to protect intellectual property.

Essential elements

1

License Scope

Defines rights extent and limitations.
2

Territory

Specifies geographic region for use.
3

Field of Use

Restricts application to specific industry.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits when the scope is misaligned with business objectives or legal requirements.

EDIT

Reject if the scope is too restrictive or exposes to significant legal risks.

ADD

Add clauses to clarify sublicensing, derivatives, or transfer restrictions.

PRO TIP

Always align the license scope with both current and future business strategies to avoid renegotiations.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Preferred License Scope

"The Licensee is granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use the Licensed Rights solely within the Territory and Field of Use as defined herein."
NEUTRAL

Standard Territory Clause

"The Territory for the use of the Licensed Rights shall be limited to [specify geographic region]."
UNFAVORABLE

Overly Restrictive Use

"The Licensee shall not use the Licensed Rights for any purpose outside the defined Field of Use without the express written consent of the Licensor."

Alternative scenarios & positions

Multi-Region Licensing

If the license involves multiple regions, ensure compliance with each region's legal requirements. Adjust clauses to reflect regional laws.

High-Volume Production

For high-volume production, negotiate broader rights to avoid bottlenecks. Ensure the scope supports scalability.

Emerging Markets

In emerging markets, consider flexible terms to accommodate rapid changes. Monitor market developments to adjust the scope as needed.
