Trademark Licence

A trade mark is any sign which can distinguish the goods or services of one trader from those of another and which can be represented graphically. A sign can include words, devices, logos, 3D shapes, smells and sounds. A trademark is essentially a badge to show trade origin and will be used as to promote a particular product or service. In the UK, registration is the formal recording of a trade mark. An applicant of a trade mark becomes a proprietor of a trade mark once registration has taken place. Trade marks can provide you with an income by granting someone a licence in your mark. This is a simple licence granting permission for the use of your mark.
