Licensing Agreements

What This Involves

Licensing turns an intellectual property right into revenue, and turns a legal document into the entire basis of that revenue. We draft and negotiate licences, assignments and royalty arrangements, and advise on the control provisions that keep a licensed brand from being degraded by the people using it.

How We Advise

We advise on scope, territory, exclusivity, quality control, term, termination and the consequences of breach — and on what the client is actually giving away, which is frequently more than intended in the first draft they are handed.

When to Instruct Us

Before signing any agreement that permits another party to use your intellectual property. Before accepting a licence offered to you.
