English translation:(right to use the) sign
Explanation:
We still have very little German context, so this may need tweaking depending on what it says before and after this. It may be possible to say simply "sign".

disagree  philgoddard: No, the Zeichen is some kind of logo or other trademark. // Try Googling Zeichenrecht. Zeichen is a noun meaning sign. The verb to sign is unterzeichnen or unterschreiben.
