Trade Marks Act 2002

Process for obtaining registration of trade mark and other matters - Other matters - Licensees

85: Assigning or transmitting right to use trade mark

You could also call this:

"Letting someone else use a trade mark you've been allowed to use"

You can give or pass on your right to use a trade mark if you have permission to use it. This means that if someone lets you use their trade mark, you can let someone else use it too. The law doesn't stop you from doing this.
