Licensing agreements for a patent or trademark

Before buying a patent or trade mark on your behalf, or licensing part of a patent or trademark, we would check that the intellectual property right in question was in order. You would only be advised to proceed when we were satisfied that the owner was free from liability, enabling you to buy with confidence.

For any patent licensing or trademark licensing contract, we would consider some or all of the following factors to broker the right deal for you:

  • Longevity
  • Entitlement
  • Strength
  • Disclosure
  • Amendment
  • Rights cover interests
  • Existing/potential litigation
  • Existing agreements
  • Freedom of action
  • Impending actions
  • Territorial coverage
