What would be the consideration to support a license?<div>2. How does the sanction regulation consider that consideration?</div><div>3. Instead of a “license” what about the Iranian written promise to maintain quality at least as much as Client</div><div>now does in its current use area (assuming some use), promise not to sublicense, etc, and</div><div>4. Client’s promise to forego any enforcement action if #3 is done?</div><div>5. For some definite duration, in definite territory, likely Iran (as now defined, sometimes nation boundaries change).</div><div>6. Have to think what, or nothing, to say of the Iranian developed goodwill.</div><div><div>7. Need some consideration of Iranian tm law and practice.</div><div>8. Fairly speculative to assign a financial value to the associated promises, especially if not</div><div>elsewhere licensed.</div><div>9. Much might depend on the Client and Iranian purposes, perhaps also on what the good/service is.</div><div><br></div><div>Daniel Kegan</div><div>Kennett Ssquare PA</div><div><<a href="mailto:daniel@keganlaw.com">daniel@keganlaw.com</a>></div><div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jul 23, 2024, at 7:26 PM, Pamela Chestek via E-trademarks <e-trademarks@oppedahl-lists.com> wrote:</div><div><div>Client owns a trademark registration in Iran (lawful per 31 CFR 560.509).<br><br>Can Client license that trademark, royalty-free, to someone in Iran, or would that be contrary to the sanctions? If yes or no, a citation in support would be wonderful. I have been reading 31 CFR part 560 but haven't found a clear answer one way or another. 31 CFR 560.204 says that the "the exportation, reexportation, sale, or supply, directly or indirectly, from the United States, or by a United States person, wherever located, of any goods, technology, or services to Iran or the Government of Iran is prohibited," but I wouldn't consider the grant of a license "goods, technology or services."<br><br>Thanks, Pam<br>Pamela S.
