Permission to Use Letter
(Trademark)

Summary

This template is a permission to use letter that a trademark owner may use to grant permission to a third party to use its trademark for a limited, defined purpose and for a short duration. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and alternate clauses. If the permission requested is for a longer term, repeat use, or has potential long-term implications, a trademark license is more appropriate. For guidance on trademark licensing, see Trademark Licenses: Licensing Fundamentals and Trademark Licenses: Key Provisions. For an annotated license agreement, see Trademark License Agreement (Pro-Licensor).
