What is peaceable use of a trademark? Not inciting violence, not humiliating trademarks of others, or ...?

uncontentious use, use free from challenge
Explanation:
I think the meaning of "peaceable" here is the same as in "peaceable possession" of real estate (by a tenant), meaning "acquiesced in by all other persons, including rival claimants, and not disturbed by any forcible attempt at ouster nor by adverse suits to recover the possession or the estate" (Black's Law Dictionary).

So it means that Party B's use of Party A's trademarks will not be challenged or impeded.

The following is on use of a right of way:

"It is not so straightforward, in this case, to ascertain whether use was peaceable or, by contrast, contentious. [...]
Use which continues when people have been challenged verbally or by notices is not peaceable use."

  -> Gracias, John :-) En español, "pacífico" tiene este mismo sentido ("Que no tiene o no halla oposición, contradicción o alteración en su estado").

agree  Piyush Ojha: Makes sense.

  -> Thanks, Piyush :)

agree  Andy Watkinson: As the trademark is now possessed by Party B (new possession) it'd also be "quiet possession", although I'm not sure how useful this would be to the asker.
