There are three categories of trademark license; General use license, exclusive use license and exclusive use license.

1. General use license: refers to that a trademark registrant permits others to use its registered trademark within an agreed period, in an agreed region and in an agreed manner, and can use the registered trademark by himself or by others. It is mostly applicable to the conditions that the licensee's production capacity is limited or the product market demand is large (such as franchise chain store). The licensor can choose more licensees, and the price of each license is relatively low, so the right to use the trademark obtained by the licensee is non-exclusive. Therefore, if the registered trademark involved in the contract is used by a third party without authorization, the licensee generally cannot sue the infringer in its own name, but can only inform the licensor of the relevant situation, and the licensor will take necessary measures against the infringement.

2. Exclusive use license: refers to that the trademark registrant licenses the registered trademark to only one licensee in the agreed period, region and manner, and the trademark registrant holder may not use the registered trademark according to the agreement.

3. Exclusive use license: refers to that the trademark registrant licenses the registered trademark to only one licensee in the agreed period, region and manner. The trademark registrant may use the registered trademark according to the agreement, but may not license others to use the registered trademark otherwise.
