As an asset of your business your Intellectual Property (IP) has a value; one way in which this value can be exploited is through licensing your IP rights to others in return for which you could receive royalties or alternatively you may acquire a license to utilise the IP rights of others (cross-licensing). At Coulson & Associates we can assist you in negotiation and preparation of licensing agreements. we can also attend to recordal of licensing agreements before the UK Intellectual Property Office.

Of course licensing is not the only way in which you can exploit your IP just like other forms of property Intellectual Property can be sold. At Coulson & Associates we can assist you with this, in particular in preparation of assignment agreements and their recordal before the UK Intellectual Property Office.

At Coulson & Associates we also have experience in coordinating the transfer of IP rights in other jurisdictions where the formal requirements may vary from country to country. Working with our foreign associates we can streamline the transfer process.
