Licensing

Where you decide to partner with others to help you commercialise your IP – whether as licensor or licensee – our specialist commercial IP team have the experience to ensure that not only is your IP protected, but that it is also the catalyst for growth, market penetration and revenue. This is most often achieved by getting to an agreement that works for everyone, anticipates issues and maximises your revenue. We will not only negotiate the best deal, but also create and implement a strategy for doing so, time after time.

Examples of how we can help include:

  • Patent licensing including advice on carving up your IP into fields of use and different applications
  • Product licensing, whether that involved patents, designs or other IP
  • Trade mark licensing
  • Quality control provisions allowing you to ensure that standards are maintained
  • Financial milestones and goals to ensure that all parties are on track and stay on their game
  • And doing all the above on a global basis, if required
