I think the reason I'm quick to assume this is possible is that it's how the GPL works. Either you are complying with its conditions, in which case you have a (copyright) license, or you are out of compliance with its conditions, in which case you don't. I don't see why the same idea of an automatic license that is only granted while its conditions are met would fail to be usable in a trademark license, but maybe there's a reason I haven't thought of.
