Trade Name Use Agreement
Is there a legal restriction in California as to how long a Trade Name Use Agreement can be written for? May a Name Use Agreement be written into perpetuity?

Re: Trade Name Use Agreement
Assuming that the parties are either entities that may exist "into perpetuity" or may assign their interests and assuming that there is no termination date, no termination conditions, or termination conditions that never occur, technically such an agreement could exist into perpetuity. Under California law, a contract may, by its express terms, provide for a term of duration of indefinite length and without specific limitation, tied not to the calendar but to the conduct of the contracting parties.
