Transferring a trademark without a license fee – but with legal certainty

Would you like to transfer your registered trademark to your company or another legal entity free of charge? Then you need a legally secure contract that clearly documents the use. This is exactly what the License agreement without license fee.

With the license agreement without license fee you can officially transfer your trademark – without any obligation to pay, but with a clear legal basis. Ideal for founders, sole traders and start-ups who want to use their brand in a business environment, for example:

  • between you and your own company

  • for the Amazon Brand Registry

  • for presentation to banks or investors

  • for use by affiliated companies

Why the license agreement without a license fee is so important

Even if no payment is made, the trademark assignment must be documented. This is the only way you can prove to platforms, authorities and contractual partners that the use is legally regulated. The License agreement without license fee regulates:

  • Which trademark is provided (including registration number)

  • Who is the licensor and who is the licensee

  • Duration and scope of use

  • The note that no license fee is charged

This will ensure that the trademark assignment is documented in a legally sound manner – and effectively prevent any questions or problems at a later date.
