In mergers and acquisitions, brand restructuring or channel expansion, trademark assignment and licensing is a common way to put the asset to work. Our delivery standard is clear rights, defined returns, controlled risk and traceable execution, so that every agreement supports actual business.

Drafting and negotiation of the agreement
Recordal of the assignment or licence
Cross-border tax arrangements
Monitoring of use and remedies for breach
How it works
1
Step 1
Due diligence and assessment
Database and earlier-rights searches identify risks of refusal, invalidity, infringement and coexistence.
2
Step 2
Drafting and negotiation of the agreement
Define liability for breach, exit mechanisms and dispute resolution clauses.
3
Step 3
Recordal of the assignment or licence
Set a milestone timetable for filing, recordal and delivery, with visible progress.
4
Step 4
Monitoring of use and remedies for breach
Build quality control and rules of use into the agreement, so that licensing does not dilute the mark.
Exclusive licences, non-exclusive licences and brand licensing for franchises: for each, we give a workable plan that takes account of the differences between the systems of each country and region.
Database and earlier-rights searches identify risks of refusal, invalidity, infringement and coexistence; quality control and rules of use are built into the agreement, so that licensing does not dilute the mark; liability for breach, exit mechanisms and dispute resolution clauses are defined; and a milestone timetable for filing, recordal and delivery is set, with visible progress.
