Licensing can help businesses to gain revenue from their intellectual property (IP) assets and to collaborate with other businesses. However, what do businesses exactly need to take into account when licensing their IP?
This booklet identifies and explains common issues that they may face in connection with intellectual property right (IPR) licensing. It covers vital points such as:
- General considerations like governing law, scope of rights, representations and warranties.
- Patent-specific considerations from registration to cross-licensing.
- Trademark-specific considerations such as quality control or policing and enforcement.
- Copyright-specific considerations i.e. writing requirement, ownership and royalty sharing.
- And more
This handy tool will help trademark and technology owners, IP lawyers and businesses determine whether an IPR license is appropriate and necessary, and ensure that any such license is properly documented and implemented.
