It represents an agreement between the owner of a trademark (assignor) and the party receiving the rights (assignee) or the party granted the license (licensee). This agreement is essential to protect the rights and interests of both parties involved in the transfer or licensing of a trademark.

Some key components typically included in an Illinois Trademark Assignment and License Agreement are as follows: 1.

Description of the Trademark: This section provides a detailed description of the trademark being assigned or licensed, including any associated logos, brand names, or slogans. 3.
