Do I need an IP Licence Agreement?

Intellectual property is a valuable business asset that can be commercialised to earn a profit for your business. If you’re looking to sell the rights to use a product or work you’ve created, but want to keep ownership of the work itself, then you should use an IP Licence Agreement.

The use of works without a licence may constitute an infringement of intellectual property rights. If you’re planning on purchasing a licence to use someone’s else work as part of your business, you’ll want to document this clearly with IP Licence Agreement to protect your business.

What We Offer​

Should I use an assignment or a licence?

Got a great product you’re working on but don’t want to give it away forever? An IP Licence might suit your business needs better than an assignment of your intellectual property rights. Using a license will allow you to charge a fee for accessing or using the work, but you’ll still be the owner of the work. This can be useful for products such as membership platforms, or where you want to allow someone to use your work in a certain way for a limited time.
