Mark Licence

Clause 1Grant

The Register grants the brand a licence to use the mark that is non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable, for the duration of validity of its record and for no longer.

The licence covers only the record identified by its number, and only the product scope stated on that record.

Clause 2The mark

The Register supplies one mark, in a single form, bearing the word PRODUCTION, and only the Register supplies it.

It shows all verified productions with their country and city, the country in which the brand is registered, the record number, the scope line and the record address.

The scope line reads ALL PRODUCTS where the record covers the brand's whole range, and names the covered categories where it covers only part of it.

The brand receives one embed code. It never composes a mark itself.

Clause 3Permitted uses

• home page, footer, and “about” page, once per site
• lookbooks, catalogues and printed matter
• press and retailer documents

Clause 4Prohibited uses

The brand shall not:

• modify the mark in any way: recolour, redraw, crop, rotate, stretch, add or remove any element, or change the typography
• display more than one mark per website
• add any wording of its own beside the mark. Where the brand wishes to accompany the mark with text, it uses verbatim the wording supplied by the Register
• use the words certified, guaranteed, approved, endorsed, label, accredited, or any equivalent in any language, in connection with the mark or the record
• present the record as covering products, steps, materials, working conditions or environmental performance that it does not cover
• use the mark in a way that suggests approval or endorsement by a public authority, or by the European Union
• apply the mark to a product, a care label, a hang tag or packaging. The mark is digital, and a physical item cannot be corrected when the record changes
• register, or attempt to register, the mark or any confusingly similar sign as a trade mark, domain name or business name

Clause 5Link obligation

Every digital use of the mark must be an active link to the record at collectioneu.com, and to that record only. A link to the home page of collectioneu.com does not satisfy this obligation.

Clause 6Duration

The licence runs for as long as the record stands. It terminates automatically, with no notice and no formality, on suspension or withdrawal of the record, or on termination of the service.

Clause 7Removal

Every mark bears the date of issue of the record. A record does not expire, so a mark does not have to be removed because time has passed. It simply ages in plain sight, and the reader judges what a dated statement is worth.

On suspension or withdrawal, the brand shall remove the mark within fifteen days from every website, page, document, catalogue and marketing material under its control.

Clause 8Verification of use

The Register may check at any time how the mark is being used, including on the brand's website and on the sites of its retailers.

A prohibited use is notified in writing. The brand has fifteen days to correct it. Failing correction, the record is suspended under Article 16 of the Standard.

Clause 9No transfer of rights

This licence transfers no right of ownership in the mark, in the register, in the numbering, or in any element of the visual identity of the Register.

Clause 10Retailers and marketplaces

The brand may authorise a retailer to display the mark for the products concerned, provided the retailer complies with clauses 3 to 5. The brand remains responsible for that use.

Clause 11Governing law

French law. Exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court of the place of the Register's registered office.
