Experienced Chartered Trade Mark Attorneys & Solicitors with real world IP knowledge

IP Licensing

We specialise in IP Licensing

IP rights enable you to stop others from commercialising the thing that is protected by them, be it a trade mark, a new invention, a design or one of the many types of works protected by copyright. However, as an alternative to keeping people out of a particular market an IP owner can grant third parties a licence to use its IP in exchange for a licence fee.

IP licences are often long-term arrangements, which have the potential to deliver considerable value to the parties.  However, without the right guidance it is easy for a licensor or licensee to enter into a bad agreement, which will often result in a poor return for them.
