Tradmark Question

None of anything i or any party here says is legal advice unless that party identifies as a lawyer or similar equivalent

With the “Not legal advice” out of the way what is your non legal advice about this…

So im filling out the Trademark agreement and under 12.1 Termination for cause
it says

12.1
Post Termination Rights and Obligations
Effect of Termination. On expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all
rights and licenses granted to Licensee, and all sublicenses granted by Licensee, pursuant to this
Agreement shall cease to be in effect; Licensee shall cease all use of the Marks; Licensee shall
cooperate with Epic in the cancellation of any licenses recorded pursuant to this Agreement and shall
execute such documents and do all acts and things as may be necessary to effect such cancellation;
and Licensee shall promptly destroy, at Licensee’s expense, all materials containing the Marks.

my question is
Licensee shall promptly destroy, at Licensee’s expense, all materials containing the Marks.

Does this mean they have the right to destroy my game or simply force me to stop using the logo
because I’m okay with the latter

Oh course this is just your opinion and not legal council or advice

The entirety of the agreement seems not worth it frankly but i’d still be willing to put it on my game if its just a matter of me removing it if they don’t like my use

this post is almost certianly in the wrong place so my apologies

Not an legal expert, but I did as they told me. Sent screenshots of my game using UE logo, got reposnse from their legal team, and that’s it. Nobody complained, nor terminate my game. It’s still live and well :).

Just make sure you use the one they provide, and do not change it.

The wording makes it sound as tho they can tell you to delete the entire project is my concern
like say i made and owned skyrim here in unreal and the logo was played at the start no changes to it maybe my logo follows afterward or something but then the game is massive failure and epic decides they don’t want their name on it

The wording makes it sound like they can say Delete skyrim vs remove our logos

“all materials containing the marks” would be the whole game?
vs it saying Remove the logos from material

just not gonna take the risk honestly maybe i get a legal adviser in the future and they’ll know the for sure answer to this… i’d think my game would be protected on intellectual property rights or something but better safe than sorry
