What IP licensing & assignment services can we help you with?
Our IP transactions team understands business, technology, and the real commercial value of intellectual property. Stay ahead of potential issues with our proactive and comprehensive legal services, such as:
IP Licensing Agreement Drafting & Review
A licensing agreement is far more than a permission slip — it defines the scope of use, territorial rights, exclusivity, royalty structures, sublicensing rights, quality controls, and termination provisions that will govern a commercial relationship, often for years. Our team drafts licensing agreements that are commercially intelligent, legally watertight, and tailored to your specific IP assets and business objectives. We also review and advise on licensing agreements presented to you by third parties, identifying risks and negotiating better terms before you sign.
IP Assignment Agreement Drafting & Review
An IP assignment permanently transfers ownership of intellectual property from one party to another — making it one of the most consequential transactions a business can undertake. Whether you are selling, acquiring, or transferring IP as part of a merger, acquisition, employment arrangement, or standalone deal, our team ensures every assignment agreement is precisely drafted, properly executed, and fully compliant with the legal requirements of the relevant jurisdiction. We protect both assignors and assignees from future disputes over ownership, scope, and consideration.
Royalty Structuring & Commercialisation Strategy
Getting the royalty structure right is critical to ensuring your IP licensing deal is genuinely profitable and sustainable over its full term. Our team advises on royalty models — including fixed fees, running royalties, milestone payments, and hybrid structures — and helps you benchmark rates against industry standards to ensure you are neither leaving money on the table nor exposing yourself to unsustainable payment obligations. We align every commercialisation strategy with your broader business goals.
Technology Transfer Agreements
Technology transfer involves not just the licensing or assignment of IP rights but often the sharing of confidential know-how, technical expertise, and proprietary processes. Our team drafts comprehensive technology transfer agreements that address IP ownership, confidentiality, training obligations, improvement rights, and sublicensing — ensuring the full scope of the transfer is captured and protected, whether the transaction is domestic or cross-border.
Franchise & Brand Licensing Agreements
Franchising and brand licensing are among the most powerful tools for scaling a business — but only when the underlying agreements are structured correctly. Our team drafts and negotiates franchise and brand licensing agreements that protect the integrity of your brand, set clear operational standards for licensees, and establish enforceable rights and obligations on both sides. We ensure your brand remains an asset, not a liability, as it grows into new markets.
IP Licensing Dispute Resolution & Enforcement
When a licensee exceeds their permitted scope, fails to pay agreed royalties, or breaches the terms of an agreement, swift and decisive legal action is essential. Our team investigates breaches, issues formal notices, and pursues all available legal remedies — from negotiated settlements and arbitration to full litigation — to enforce your rights and recover what you are owed. We also defend businesses against wrongful claims of breach made by IP owners or licensors.

Your Questions Answered
Some FAQs about IP Licensing & Assignment!
Looking to know more about IP licensing and assignment for your business? Browse our FAQs:
A licence grants another party the right to use your intellectual property under defined conditions, while you retain ownership. An assignment permanently transfers ownership of the IP to the other party entirely. The right choice depends on your commercial objectives, and our team will advise you on which structure best serves your interests.
Yes. An exclusive licence grants one licensee the sole right to use the IP within a defined territory or field of use, even excluding the original owner. A non-exclusive licence allows multiple licensees to use the same IP simultaneously. Each structure has distinct commercial and legal implications, and we will help you determine which is appropriate for your situation.
A comprehensive IP licensing agreement should clearly define the scope of rights granted, territorial limitations, exclusivity arrangements, royalty rates and payment terms, sublicensing rights, quality control obligations, intellectual property ownership of improvements, confidentiality provisions, and termination rights. Our team ensures no critical provision is overlooked.
Yes. IP licensing and assignment across borders involves navigating different legal systems, registration requirements, and tax implications. Our team has experience structuring cross-border IP transactions and works with trusted international partners to ensure your agreements are valid and enforceable across all relevant jurisdictions.
Depending on the nature and severity of the breach, remedies may include termination of the licence, recovery of unpaid royalties, injunctive relief to stop unauthorised use, and claims for damages. Our team will assess the breach, advise on the most effective course of action, and move swiftly to protect your rights and commercial interests.
In many jurisdictions, recording an assignment with the relevant IP office is necessary to make it effective against third parties and to ensure the assignee can fully enforce the transferred rights. Our team manages all registration and recordal requirements to ensure your assignment is legally complete and enforceable.
