LICENSE AGREEMENT

We help you negotiate and draft IP-related agreements such as IP license agreements, technology cooperation agreements, IP purchase agreements, etc.

In more detail:

Just as with patents, there is no rule that license agreements must be tens of pages.

Instead, we recommend using brief license agreements.

Similarly, we believe that there is no need to spend tens of hours or even close to one hundred hours for negotiating a license agreement between two or three parties.

Instead, we use a checklist of typical items to be discussed during our licensing negotiations.

We may even go as far as somewhat provocatively stating that “a license agreement is basically composed of a preamble, the minutes (protocol) of checklist-guided negotiations and a severance clause .

In summary, it is the entrepreneurs and venture capitalists who should play the main part during financing/licensing negotiations, rather than their attorneys.
