s 29Licensing of registered trade mark

(1)

A licence to use a registered trade mark may be general or limited. A limited licence may apply —

(a)

in relation to some but not all of the goods or services for which the trade mark is registered; or

(b)

in relation to use of the trade mark in a particular manner or a particular locality.

(2)

A licence is not effective unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of the grantor. This requirement may be satisfied in a case where the grantor is a body corporate by the affixing of its seal.

(3)

Unless the licence provides otherwise, it is binding on a successor in title to the grantor’s interest, and references in this Act to doing anything with, or without, the consent of the proprietor of a registered trade mark shall be construed accordingly.

(4)

Where the licence so provides, a sub-licence may be granted by the licensee; and references in this Act to a licence or licensee include a sub-licence or sub-licensee.
