[E-trademarks] Licensing of Intellectual Property Rights?

Tue Feb 25 22:49:55 UTC 2025

But if so, check the date of the registrations.  I don't happen to recall when the policy shift occurred, but if there are registrations for IP that's owned by the registrant, I'd bet that they were granted in the good old days before the wind direction changed.

I recall having gotten such a registration from an application filed in 2005.   I think the change took place by 2008.

Subject: Re: [E-trademarks] Licensing of Intellectual Property Rights?

I think of "Licensing of intellectual property" as describing the service of being a licensing agent and licensing the intellectual property of others.  You can look up any large consumer facing company - Disney or McDonalds - and see if they have any registrations for this.

Question for the brain trust:

If your client uses its mark for X services, and also licenses its mark to others so that those others can provide X services (not a franchise), do you include in an application for the mark:

•       X services; AND

•       (Class 45) Licensing of intellectual property

or only “X services”?
