Licensing OverviewCARR Law Firm PLLC - Intellectual Property Lawyers in Dallas, Texas Licensing a patent, trademark, or copyright is similar to leasing real estate, only the property is intangible in nature. A license gives the party receiving the license (the “licensee”) the right to use the patent, trademark, or copyright in accordance limitations in the license, in return for a fee. This process usually begins with a confidentiality agreement that protects the Intellectual Property from use or disclosure by the potential licensee unless a license agreement is reached through further discussion and consideration by the parties. The Intellectual Property licensing attorneys at CARR frequently help patent, trademark and copyright owners approach potential licensees. There are many reasons why your company may want to license its Intellectual Property.
