Licensing Agreements
Turn your intellectual property into recurring revenue. We structure licensing deals that define exactly what rights you are granting, to whom, for how long, and at what price.
Do You Actually Need This?
Licensing the wrong rights — or forgetting to limit them — can permanently transfer control of your most valuable assets.
You are licensing IP without a written agreement
An oral or implied license is nearly impossible to enforce and may give the licensee broader rights than you intended — including the right to sublicense or transfer.
Your license does not define exclusivity or territory
Without clear exclusivity and geographic scope, you may inadvertently be locked out of your own market or unable to license the same rights to a higher-value partner.
Revenue share is handled with a handshake
Royalty calculation methods, payment schedules, and audit rights must be spelled out in writing — vague revenue-share arrangements are the most litigated licensing disputes.
Your license has no termination clause
Without a clear termination right tied to breach or non-performance, you may be unable to reclaim your IP even when the licensee fails to meet their obligations.

Your Questions Answered
An exclusive license means only the licensee can use the rights in the defined scope — even you cannot grant those same rights to anyone else. A non-exclusive license allows you to license the same rights to multiple parties simultaneously.
Yes, but an unregistered trademark is much harder to enforce against third parties, and some jurisdictions require registration before a license can be recorded. We recommend filing a trademark application before entering a major licensing deal.
A royalty clause should define the royalty base (gross revenue, net revenue, or units), the royalty rate, payment frequency, currency, and the licensee's obligation to maintain records and submit to audits.
Yes — software licenses typically address source code access, modification rights, reverse engineering restrictions, and SLA obligations that are irrelevant to content licenses. Using the wrong template creates dangerous gaps.
Termination rights should be built into the agreement from the start — specifying trigger events (breach, insolvency, failure to launch), cure periods, and the mechanics of IP reversion upon termination. Retro-fitting termination rights is difficult and expensive.
