Trademark Licensing
Posted by Anonymous . updated on 2/26/2009
I am interested in licensing my trademark to be able to sell usage of my brand, collect a license fee and royalties on services provided.
Fact: My state do not require franchise registration but govern according to business opportunity laws.
My Questions:
1) My firm provides technical services. Is licensing my Trademark brand legal?
2) How is this different from franchising?
3) Is there any federal paperwork I must file, other than registering my trademark with the USPTO?
4) Any guidelines to watch out for to ensure that my trademark registration is clearly deferentiated from a franchise?

I hope I?m not being too nitpicking but I?m having a little trouble understanding what you mean by being ?able to sell usage of my brand.? A trademark license is your branded products or services through your licensee. That?s why the licensee?s use inures to your goodwill. What you?re looking to accomplish, here, sounds a little murky, and may indeed even be invoking franchise laws. Don?t have the foggiest idea what you mean by ?licensing my trademark brand? (sounds like you have a service mark, no?). Tell you how to be sure, though. Get an attorney on the hook. You?ll be glad for it later on.
