Thanks to our expertise in the underlying principles of patent licensing, we can ensure your intellectual property is protected and that you gain the patent licence that's exactly right for your business needs.

How we can help your business with licensing agreements

Advice on protecting your intellectual property

Where you have created valuable intellectual property, it is important to know what sort of protection you may already have and where you will need to apply for additional protection for your IP.

Our expert intellectual property lawyers can advise on all types of IP protection, including:

  • Trade marks
  • Registered designs
  • Patents
  • Copyright
  • Design rights

IP confidentiality agreements

A common concern is about protecting your intellectual property and business secrets during preliminary discussions and negotiations with potential commercial partners, including investors and businesses looking to licence your IP.

To alleviate these concerns, our team can draft a robust confidentiality agreement that ensures nothing is disclosed during these discussions and negotiations can be used by the other party or parties involved. You can then talk openly with potential commercial partners without fear of giving away trade secrets or hurting your financial interests.

Negotiating IP licensing agreements

We are highly experienced in acting for both IP holders and businesses looking to licence strategically valuable IP during contract negotiations. We can draft and review licensing agreements, making sure your requirements are accounted for and your long-term interests protected.

Our licencing agreements solicitors’ expertise includes:

  • Exclusive agreements
  • Non-exclusive agreements
