Trademark License Agreement for the Manufacturing industry

Why Manufacturing businesses need an industry-specific Trademark License Agreement

Manufacturing operators in Thailand work under specialised regimes including Factory Act B.E. 2535, BOI Section 33/35, EEC Act. Off-the-shelf Trademark License Agreement templates available online do not cover these obligations, and tend to be interpreted against the party with weaker bargaining power once a dispute arises.

Based on NYC Legal's experience with 320+ Manufacturing clients, the recurring pain points are: ภาษีนำเข้าวัตถุดิบ · QC reject rate · Force majeure pandemic. Our industry-specific Trademark License Agreement build is engineered to neutralise these risks before signature, anchored to recent Thai-court precedent from the last 5 years.

Legal framework referenced

An enforceable Trademark License Agreement must integrate Thai general law, sector-specific rules, and the international conventions Thailand has acceded to:

• Thailand Civil and Commercial Code (CCC) §149-181 (juristic acts), §354-394 (contracts), §456 (real-estate sale) • Thailand Personal Data Protection Act 2019 (PDPA) — fines up to THB 5M + criminal liability • Thailand Labour Protection Act 1998 (as amended 2019) — non-compete capped at 2 years / reasonable radius • Hague Apostille Convention 1961 — effective in Thailand 19 December 2024, cutting legalisation time by ~70%

Sector rules for Manufacturing: • Factory Act B.E. 2535 • BOI Section 33/35 • EEC Act • Hazardous Substance Act — every clause is mapped to the relevant statute so it stands up in court and at arbitration.

Signature clauses included by default

Our Manufacturing edition of the Trademark License Agreement includes the following provisions that generic templates omit:

(1) FOB/CIF Incoterms 2020 · (2) QC tolerance ±5% · (3) RoHS/REACH · (4) Force majeure (act of God) · (5) Liquidated damages 0.5%/day

Each clause has been reviewed by counsel with direct Manufacturing sector experience and benchmarked against Fortune 500 / Magic Circle precedent, so foreign counterparties accept them and the chosen governing law will enforce them as drafted.

Common pitfalls checklist

Across 320+ Manufacturing contract reviews, the recurring defects that render a contract unenforceable or one-sided are:

1. Limitation of Liability does not separate direct / indirect / consequential damages · 2. Confidentiality clause omits the survival period after termination · 3. Indemnity clause has no cap — unlimited exposure, conflicts with CCC §150 reasonableness · 4. Defined Terms are incomplete — key words used before they are defined, creating conflicting interpretations · 5. Termination clause has no cure period — invites unlawful immediate termination · 6. Payment terms omit default interest (Thai CCC §224 default is 5% p.a.) · 7. No Entire Agreement clause — prior emails can be pulled in as contract terms · 8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction clauses contradict each other — Thai law but Singapore courts without an arbitration anchor

Every NYC Legal draft passes a 32-point Pre-Sign Audit Checklist before delivery, eliminating the issues above as a matter of standard procedure.
