What to keep in mind
Review registrations, licenses, exit agreements, advertising and digital channels; negotiate transitional arrangements or seek appropriate remedies.
A distributor's marketing expenditure does not automatically make it the owner of the supplier's mark.
Distinctions often confused
A former company shareholder is not necessarily the owner of the company's trademarks.
Frequently asked questions
May a former distributor keep using a logo after termination?
That depends on the license and termination provisions; permanent permission should not be assumed.
Can control of brand-linked digital accounts be recovered?
Potentially, based on contracts, account ownership and trademark rights.
