A Trademark Agreement sets out the rules for using someone else's registered brand name, logo, or distinctive mark in Singapore. It's a legal contract that spells out exactly how and when you can use the trademark, what you'll pay for that right, and what you can't do with it.

These agreements help Singapore businesses protect their intellectual property while safely sharing their brands with others. They're especially common in franchising, licensing deals, and business partnerships where companies need to maintain control over their brand identity while allowing others to benefit from their established reputation under the Trade Marks Act.

Use a Trademark Agreement when you plan to let another business use your registered mark in Singapore, or when you need permission to use someone else's trademark. This comes up often in franchise deals, merchandising partnerships, and brand collaborations where one company wants to leverage another's established brand identity.

The agreement becomes essential before any joint marketing campaigns, product launches, or business expansions involving shared branding. It's particularly important for Singapore companies expanding regionally, as it helps prevent unauthorized use and maintains brand value while creating new revenue streams through licensing.

A Trademark Agreement differs significantly from a Trademark License Agreement in several key aspects, though they're often confused. While both deal with trademark rights, their scope and application serve different purposes under Singapore's intellectual property laws.

• Scope and Purpose: A Trademark Agreement covers broader aspects of trademark ownership and usage rights, including transfers and co-existence terms. A License Agreement focuses specifically on temporary permission to use the mark.
• Duration and Transfer: Trademark Agreements often involve permanent arrangements or ownership changes, while License Agreements are typically time-limited and don't transfer ownership.
• Control Rights: Trademark Agreements may include complete transfer of control and enforcement rights, whereas License Agreements maintain the original owner's ultimate control over the mark.
• IPOS Registration: Trademark Agreements affecting ownership must be registered with IPOS, while many License Agreements don't require this step.
