[E-trademarks] what countries prohibt TM licensing?

[Crane, Susan]

Never encountered ones that didn’t allow licensing, but have encountered some that don’t allow sublicensing – Ghana, and used to be Saudi Arabia off the top of my head.

Hi everyone I have read that some countries do not allow TM licensing, but I cannot find a list anywhere. If you know and could share, or know some example, that would be great. thanks Janet Janet F. Satterthwaite|Partner/ Chair, Trademark Practice|Potomac
