An Oregon Trademark Security Agreement is a legal document that establishes a security interest in a trademark or service mark (collectively referred to as "trademarks") as collateral for a loan or debt. This agreement grants the lender or creditor a security interest in the trademark, providing assurance that if the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender has the right to take possession of the trademark and sell it to recover any outstanding amounts. The Oregon Trademark Security Agreement is governed by Oregon state laws, specifically the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) provisions adopted in the state. The UCC outlines the requirements and procedures for creating and enforcing security interests in various types of collateral, including trademarks. This agreement typically includes detailed information about the parties involved, such as the borrower (debtor) and the lender (secured party). It outlines the specific trademarks covered by the agreement, including their names, registration numbers, and any associated intellectual property rights. Key elements of an Oregon Trademark Security Agreement may include: 1. Granting Clause: This section specifies that the debtor grants the lender a security interest in the trademarks. 2. Description of Collateral: The agreement should provide a detailed description of the trademarks, including their registration details, classes, and any associated goodwill. 3. Security Interest: The agreement establishes the lender's security interest and outlines the borrower's obligations to maintain the trademark rights, including paying any necessary fees or maintaining registrations. 4. Perfection of Security Interest: The agreement typically addresses how the lender will perfect its security interest in the trademarks, ensuring its priority over other potential creditors. This may involve filing a UCC financing statement with the appropriate state agency. 5. Default and Remedies: The agreement outlines the borrower's obligations, such as maintaining the trademarks and not taking any actions that might harm their value. It also outlines the lender's rights and remedies in case of default, including the right to seize and sell the trademarks to recover the outstanding debt. Different types of Oregon Trademark Security Agreements may vary based on the specific requirements and preferences of the parties involved. However, the underlying purpose remains the same, which is to provide security to the lender and ensure the timely repayment of the loan by establishing a security interest in the trademarks.
