Commercial IP & Licensing
Intellectual property is only worth what you can do with it. We handle licensing, assignments, coexistence agreements and IP due diligence, so your rights earn revenue and hold up when a transaction puts them under scrutiny.
How we help
Licensing & assignments
We draft and negotiate licences and assignments. Done right, they turn your rights into revenue or a clean transfer of ownership.
IP due diligence
We review IP for investments, acquisitions and disposals so you know exactly what you’re buying or selling.
Coexistence agreements
We negotiate coexistence agreements that let similar rights sit side by side without clashing.
Portfolio strategy
We align your IP with your commercial goals so it supports the business, not just protects it.
How we work
01
Review
We establish who owns what, what is registered and what the agreement or deal needs to cover.
02
Draft & negotiate
We draft the licence, assignment or coexistence agreement and negotiate the terms with the other side.
03
Record
We record assignments and licences at the relevant IP offices, so the register matches the deal.
DEALS & AGREEMENTS
Rights that hold up when a deal depends on them.
Licences, assignments and due diligence come down to the same question: does the paperwork match the reality? We draft and review IP agreements so ownership is clean, obligations are clear and value is protected.
Licensing: exclusive, sole or non-exclusive, drafted to earn revenue
Assignments: clean transfers with the chain of title recorded
Due diligence: portfolios reviewed before investment or acquisition
Coexistence: similar rights kept apart by clear agreements
