Licensing

Many businesses obtain value from their intellectual property (IP) through licensing.  All manner of intellectual property can be licensed including  trade marks, patents, plant varieties designs, copyright and know how / trade secrets. 

Relevance to your organisation:

• Licensing your IP out to third parties to increase your return on investment
• Obtaining licenses from third parties to allow your business to avoid infringement, or to reduce development costs
• Cross-licensing IP to settle a dispute or to facilitate development

How we can help:

• Developing a licensing strategy
• Assisting you to identify and approach potential licensees
• Negotiation of licensing transactions
• Drafting licence agreements

Our team of commercial experts have experience working with all sizes of New Zealand companies and with multi-nationals to license IP. 

We also provide assistance to learning institutes to license the IP developed in their programmes.

As part of our licensing expertise we can help you to set up a franchise or to join an existing franchise, whether locally or internationally.  For further information see our franchising expertise page.
