Legal analysis: No difference. There is no difference between authorized trademark use and licensed trademark use. They both refer to licensing the exclusive right of a trademark to others within a certain scope, for a certain period of time, in a specific way, and charging a certain license fee. There are three types of licensing, one is exclusive license, one is exclusive license, and the other is general license.
Legal basis: Article 43 of the "Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China" A trademark registrant may license others to use its registered trademark by signing a trademark license contract. The licensor shall supervise the quality of the goods used by the licensee using its registered trademark. The licensee shall ensure the quality of the goods using the registered trademark. If the registered trademark of another person is used with permission, the name of the licensee and the place of origin of the goods must be marked on the goods using the registered trademark. If the licensor permits others to use its registered trademark, the licensor shall submit its trademark use license to the Trademark Office for record, and the Trademark Office shall announce it. The trademark use license shall not be used against bona fide third parties without registration.
