Trademark Licence Agreement
Permission to use marks. Channel brand-use is narrower; this is the IP instrument.
IP licence and technology transfer contracts
Licence, transfer, or jointly develop as named contracts. Channel brand-use is narrower than a trademark licence.
Licence, transfer, or jointly develop technology as named contracts.
One trademark or know-how licence is a single matter. A repeating licence program sits in a module.
IP Licence Agreement
Broader IP licence covering copyright, design, or mixed rights.
Technology Transfer Agreement
Transfer of technology, sometimes with a registration culture in Vietnam. The pack records what is transferred at a non-secret level.
Technical Services Agreement
People delivering know-how without a full licence grant.
Know-how Licence Agreement
Know-how that is not patented. Non-use NDA is the usual neighbour.
Patent Licence Agreement
Patent licence. Field, territory, and remaining term are pack facts.
Franchise Agreement
Franchise is heavier than brand-use. Malaysia’s Franchise Act is a destination hint, not a how-to.
Joint Development Agreement
Both sides invent. Foreground and background IP must be listed as facts the client already believes.
R&D Collaboration Agreement
R&D collaboration, often with a university or a vendor lab.
Source Code Escrow Agreement
Escrow of source so a licensee can survive vendor failure.
Software Development Agreement
Work-for-hire or commissioned software. Ownership of the repo is a pack fact.
White-label Agreement
Your product under their brand, or the reverse. Channel and SaaS neighbours.
Questions
Is brand-use the same as a trademark licence?
No. Channel brand-use is narrower, for local marketing under an appointment. A trademark licence is the IP instrument.
Does Vietnam technology transfer need a registration fact?
Sometimes the destination treats transfer as a registered event. Record what is transferred and whether a filing is already planned — as a gap, not a how-to.
When does source-code escrow belong in a startup pack?
When a licensee needs to survive vendor failure. Most first SaaS packs skip it. Mid-market buyers ask.
