Co-Existence AgreementWhat is a Co-Existence Agreement?
A Trademark Coexistence Agreement is a legally binding contract between two parties with
similar or identical trademarks or trade names. It enables them to use their respective
marks without infringing on each other's rights. The agreement stipulates the terms and
conditions for mark usage and any associated limitations. These agreements are crucial when
companies share an industry and similar trademarks, offering a cost-effective alternative to
legal disputes. By opting for a coexistence agreement, parties can coexist in the market
while mitigating the potential for consumer confusion.
