Document background
The Trademark License Agreement Between Parent And Subsidiary is a crucial document for corporate groups operating in Germany who wish to formalize the use of trademarks within their organization. This agreement is particularly important when a parent company needs to maintain control over its trademark portfolio while allowing subsidiaries to utilize these valuable assets in their operations. The document ensures compliance with German trademark law (MarkenG), corporate law, and tax regulations, particularly regarding transfer pricing. It's commonly used during corporate restructuring, establishment of new subsidiaries, or formalizing existing trademark usage arrangements within a group. The agreement includes detailed provisions for quality control, usage guidelines, and maintenance of trademark rights, while considering the special relationship between parent and subsidiary entities under German law.
