Practice question
Independent producers use an owner-controlled collective sign, retain separate business names, and want an ordinary license contract covering the collective registration itself. What is the sound distinction?
- Separate enterprise names can coexist with collective use, but Section 167.4 bars licensing the collective registration or application.
- Collective use necessarily merges all enterprises into one company.
- Every enterprise name must be transferred to the collective owner.
- The statutory license prohibition applies only to patents.
- All collective users automatically become owners of the registered owner's trade name.
