Can I record a trademark license with the USPTO?
Yes, you can record a trademark license with the USPTO. The process is similar to recording other documents:
- Submit the license document to the USPTO’s Assignment Recordation Branch
- Include a cover sheet with the required information
- Pay the appropriate fee
MPEP 313 mentions: Trademark documents are recorded in the same manner as patent documents, but… requests to record documents for trademarks should be mailed to: Commissioner for Trademarks, 2900 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22202-3514.
Recording a trademark license can provide legal benefits and help maintain clear records of trademark rights and usage agreements.
