Licensing Intellectual Property

 

Larken & Co is often approached by clients to help them take advantage of opportunities to sell an idea, an invention or a trademark. Usually the client will be entering into a commercial arrangement with almost a stranger.

 

Our experience means that we can discuss with you the likely problems that need to be discussed and advise on the best type of documentation needed to try and protect our client's interest.

 

Often we will start the process by using a confidentiality or secrecy agreement so that preliminary discussions can take place but the contract prohibits the use of confidential information discussed at any meeting. If an agreement is reached then we can create the documentation recording the agreement to ensure each party's rights and obligations are set out in writing.
