HOW WE CAN HELP
Find a commercial route
for your rights.
A rights holder might want to license a design to a manufacturer or take a brand into a new category. A prospective licensee might be looking for technology, designs or know-how that fill a gap in its offering. We define what the opportunity needs to achieve and identify the sectors, territories and counterparties worth exploring.
We help prepare a non-confidential outline and agree what can be shared before an approach. We then identify relevant decision-makers, establish interest and arrange introductions. For example, a designer considering a licensing partnership can use those first discussions to compare production capability, distribution reach and fit with the brand.
Specialist partners can advise on ownership, protection, valuation and licence terms within separately agreed engagements.
THE SUPPORT AROUND THE INTRODUCTION
A controlled process.
A professional route forward.
Control disclosure
Agree disclosure permissions and confidentiality. A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) does not grant a licence.
Define the commercial route
Specialists advise on use, territory, duration, exclusivity, reporting and payment. The parties agree the structure.
Practical ways we can help you.
If you need rights or know-how
- Define what would fill the gap
Identify the brand, design, content, technology or know-how that could support your product or market plans.
- Find relevant rights holders
Research potential sources and identify the people with authority to discuss a licence or collaboration.
- Compare commercial fit
Use first conversations to assess potential partners’ capabilities and engage specialist advisers on rights and terms.
If you own rights or know-how
- Identify where it could have value
Explore relevant sectors, territories and applications for a brand, design, technology or other rights.
- Find people who can commercialise it
Research suitable licensees, manufacturers or commercial partners with the capability to put the rights to use.
- Control what you share
Prepare a non-confidential proposition and agree when to involve specialist partners on protection and licensing terms.
THE WAY WE WORK
Integrity in the process.
Respect in every relationship.
We coordinate purposeful conversations and staged disclosure, with clear permissions around confidential knowledge, creative work and the rights behind it.
For licensing and franchising, specialist research can assess a proposed partner’s background. Appointed lawyers review rights, permissions and contracts.
Specialists provide their own advice under independent engagements. Our coordination role is agreed for each assignment.
A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING
Questions,
considered.
What kinds of IP briefs can you consider?
Brand licensing, creative rights, technology, know-how and related partnerships, with a clear mandate and ownership position.
Can you help with sensitive intangible-asset matters?
We can introduce legal, forensic and valuation professionals for defined assignments, including sensitive family asset matters.
