second, can a trademark be authorized to be used by multiple companies? If a well-known trademark is encountered and the response of this trademark in the market is also very good, then many companies may want to obtain the right to use this trademark. Can a trademark authorize multiple companies at the same time be allowed? A registered trademark can be authorized and licensed by many companies. There are many cases. For example, if a group owns the trademark right, it can authorize and license several subsidiaries to use it. However, it should be noted that two different companies are not allowed to use a trademark at the same time within the same business scope, and the use of other people's trademarks must be authorized by the trademark holder. By signing a trademark licensing contract, the licensee can engage in production and business activities in accordance with the provisions of the contract. At the same time, the licensor should give the licensee technical support and guidance, and should also supervise the quality of products using its registered trademark by the licensee. For the licensee, obtaining the right to use a trademark through formal trademark authorization can make his products enter the market quickly and be accepted by the market with low cost and risk in a short time by virtue of the good brand influence of the trademark. In a word, if your trademark is idle or does not play its maximum value, it is a mutual benefit and win-win two-way cooperation to authorize others to use your trademark. In addition, in order to better protect the rights and interests of both trademark licensing parties, it is suggested that trademark licensing should be filed in time, so that it can be better protected by law.
