Trade Mark Licence Agreement — Digital (Self-Complete)

A trade mark licence agreement in Ireland sets the terms on which another business can use your brand. This Trade Mark Licence Agreement is a self-complete document for use in Ireland. It typically covers the licensed marks, territory, royalties, quality control and termination.

This is a digital, self-complete document from our Digital Legal Documents range: you download an editable document with guidance notes and complete it yourself. It does not include review of your completed document or advice from a solicitor. If you would like a solicitor to review or draft the document for you, find one through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.

Before you rely on a self-complete document, check that it fits your situation. Read the completion notes carefully, fill in every section that applies, remove anything that does not, and keep a signed copy with your records. If your circumstances are unusual, or a lot depends on the document, it is worth having it reviewed. Keep the completed document somewhere safe, and review it whenever your circumstances change so that it stays accurate.
