The Permission To Use Trademark Agreement is essential when a trademark owner wishes to grant another party the right to use their trademark while maintaining control over its usage and protecting their intellectual property rights. This document is commonly used in India for various commercial arrangements including franchising, merchandising, and brand collaborations. It must comply with the Indian Trade Marks Act, 1999, and the Trade Marks Rules, 2017, which provide the regulatory framework for trademark licensing and usage. The agreement typically includes detailed provisions about usage scope, quality standards, territorial restrictions, and termination rights, ensuring both parties' interests are protected while maintaining the trademark's integrity and value.
