Are there particular requirements, such as quality control by the licensor, for a trademark licence to be valid?
Bolivia

Answer ... There are few provisions in law regarding the licensing of a mark and no particular requirements relating to issues such as quality control. The sole specific requirement is that the licence be executed in writing and recorded with National Intellectual Property Service (SENAPI). If it is not recorded, it will have no effect in relation to third parties.
