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.
