English term or phrase: settlement agreement

This term is the heading for an agreement between two companies regarding the use of similar trademarks. Since settlement and agreement are synonyms, I thought I could use a single term (i.e. Vereinbarung). Or, given the legal nature of the document, must they be translated separately?

Einigungsvereinbarung

Explanation:
Handelt es sich bei "settlement agreement" nicht um einen Vergleich? Mir schwebt solches vor.
Dann würden die beiden Parteien sich evtl. darüber einigen, wie die von ihnen verwendeten Markennamen zu verwenden seien. (?)

Danke, für Deine Erläuterung. Dann ging mein Gedanke in die richtige Richtung.

Dann würde ich doch direkt auf "Vergleichsvereinbarung" gehen!

Notes to answerer

Asker: Yes there is a comparison between to almost identical tradmarks. The plantiff however will allow the other company to apply for trademark protection if it makes certain modifications to the description of goods and services under said tradmark.

Hans G. Liepert: Vergleichsvereinbarung / Sicher, eine Vereinbarung ist doch eine Einigung über Themen usw. (Wortstamm 'ein') // Wie kommst Du bloss auf die Idee, dass ich in meinem Alter Andere noch Ernst nehme ;0)

-> "zu viel des Guten" -> meinst Du...? :-) -> Du solltest meine Anwort nicht so ernst nehmen! Im Spaß: Warum sollte man nicht vereinbaren, dass man sich einigt/einigen wird? Aber, ich denke auch, dass der ernsthafte Vorschlag "Vergleichsvereinbarung" ist.
