Our trademark attorneys work with clients to monetize their trademarks and brands and enhance brand equity through well-structured trademark licensing agreements. Our broad experience with structuring trademark license agreements, coupled with our innovation and creativity, can result in deals that help ensure that our clients maximize their intellectual property rights.
TM Agreements
Trademark license agreements can enhance brand equity and produce revenues for a brand owner. Each licensing structure is different and the reality of trademark license agreements can be complex. A well-structured licensing agreement is important to maximize the value of a trademark while safeguarding against possible ramifications and risks. Whether a potential licensor or licensee, it is important to have an experienced trademark attorney who understands the complex world of trademark licensing.
Our attorneys have significant experience structuring, negotiating, and preparing trademark licensing agreements in a variety of industries, including software and electronic services, retail, food/beverage, clothing, and more. We also represent clients in other significant transactions involving trademark rights including: joint ventures, supply/distribution, franchising, and co-branding. We use our deep knowledge and understanding of trademark licensing matters, our clients, and their industries, to structure and negotiate deals that both protect our clients’ valuable intellectual property and maximize its value.
Licensing and Counseling
It is important that a trademark owner work with a trademark attorney who can develop a license agreement that safeguards against unfair terms and balances the bargained-for exchange between the licensor and licensee. We offer trademark counseling to capitalize on the client's trademark portfolio through effective and well-structured trademark licensing arrangements. Our trademark attorneys help clients execute a successful branding strategy, which often may include evaluation and implementation of licensing opportunities.
