Q: Hello, do I need to go to the Trademark Office to record the trademark license contract? I don't think this is mandatory. Because I have a trademark registered in my personal name, and I am going to authorize it to my brother's company. But I have no shares in my brother's company. I want to sign a trademark license contract with his company in my own name, and I'm not going to file it with the Trademark Office, is that all right? Is it legal? Thank you. Hello, it is possible and legal for you to do so. Just sign a license contract between you, and the Trademark Office doesn't force filing.
