Trademark licensing

ICC Model International Trademark Licence addresses the situation where the owner of a wellknown trademark licences the trademark to a company which will use it with respect to products other than those manufactured or sold by the licensor. In this case, it is assumed that the licenced products will be designed and developed by the licensee, and that the main preoccupation of the licensor is to ensure that the licenced products conform to the overall image of the licensor and its trademarks.
