Legal Definitions - exclusive use

Definition: The right to use a specific mark or property without exception, and to prevent another from using a confusingly similar mark or property.

Examples:

• A company has exclusive use of their trademarked logo, meaning no other company can use a similar logo that may cause confusion for consumers.
• A tenant may have exclusive use of a parking spot in a rental property, meaning no other tenant can park in that spot.

These examples illustrate how exclusive use grants a specific individual or entity the sole right to use a particular mark or property, preventing others from using it in a way that may cause confusion or interfere with the exclusive user's rights.
