Trade mark coexistence agreement : ウィキペディア英語版 | Trade mark coexistence agreement A trade mark coexistence agreement is an agreement made by two parties to use a similar trademark for marketing purposes without interfering in each other's enterprises. Agreements of this nature are often made as parties only require regional use of their trademarks, and therefore other enterprises use of a trademark will not harm their business. Coexistence agreements can potentially also involve designs, copyrights and even patents. ==Purpose==
The purpose of a trade mark coexistence agreement is that often marks are used by multiple enterprises in "good faith". The absence of a formal agreement does not undermine any enterprise using the mark as they are in different global regions. However, as the enterprises grow, overlaps can develop, and both parties can have substantial rights for using the trade mark. In certain cases, companies who are expanding and using the same or a similar trade mark usually enter in a coexistence agreement for the purpose of avoiding usage of the trademark in a way which is undesirable or infringing. Coexistence agreements can offer practical solutions to companies who are concerned about being sued for trade mark infringement, as proactive agreements can avoid the large cost of litigation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=http://www.ipo.gov.uk/tmcoexistenceagreement.pdf )〕
