Hello,

Things to note when licensing trademarks:

(1) To license others to use a registered trademark, the transferor and assignee should sign a trademark license The license contract shall be reported to the Trademark Office for filing. According to relevant explanations, the purpose of filing trademark license contracts with the Trademark Office is mainly to facilitate the Trademark Office to manage the national trademark license situation, regulate the trademark license market, promptly discover and correct problems, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of both parties. In addition, the filing status of trademark licensing contracts must be announced to the public through trademark announcements, so that the public can understand the true status of trademark licensing and choose consumer goods.

(2) When licensing others to use a registered trademark, the licensor has the obligation to supervise the quality of the licensee’s goods. When a trademark is licensed to others, goods using the same trademark may come from different sources. To this end, the Trademark Law requires trademark registrants to supervise the quality of the licensee’s products using the registered trademark to prevent the licensee’s products from being of low quality and harming the interests of consumers. For the same reason, the licensee should ensure the quality of the goods using the registered trademark.

(3) If a registered trademark is used with permission, the name of the licensee and the origin of the goods must be marked on the goods using the registered trademark. When a trademark is licensed for use by others, goods using the same trademark may have different origins. In this regard, consumers should have the right to know and choose; in addition, even if the goods provided by different providers have the same quality, the sources of the goods are indeed different, which will damage the distinguishing function of the trademark. For this reason, licensees are also required to indicate their name and place of origin. I hope it helps you and I hope you will adopt it
