Licensing Agreements – Legally Secure Commercialization of Trademarks, Designs, Copyrights and Patents.

The exploitation rights to trademarks, patents, utility models, designs and copyrights can constitute a very substantial portion of a company's value. The holder of these proprietary rights may entrust their commercialization to third parties in exchange for the payment of a reasonable license fee – the specific details of which are governed by a license agreement.

How can we help you with licensing matters?

We advise our clients on the negotiation of license agreements, as well as draft and review such agreements, for instance, in matters concerning the use of trademarks (trademark license agreements) or patents and utility models (patent license agreements). The subject matter of a license agreement typically involves the granting of usage rights in exchange for remuneration. In this context, key considerations include, among other factors, the intended scope of the license, the specific usage rights and modes of use, and the amount and calculation method of the license fees. Last but not least, confidentiality agreements must also be duly addressed.


We offer an initial consultation regarding license agreements at affordable and transparent fixed rates, which are credited against our fees should you decide to retain our services for further work.
