Patent, Copyright or Trademark Licensing Issues
A new technology, product, idea or process is patented or a trademark registered which is easily identifiable as a product of your corporation. Corporations or individuals license their patents and receive payment in the form of royalties. Licensing strategies and agreements are developed to generate revenue and ensure that the product or trademark is not used by other companies without authorization.How a company manages and audits its licensing programs determines whether a licensed company complies with the agreement and payment of royalties. Unlicensed companies may use the patented products owned by a corporation without payment of the royalties. This gives them a competitive advantage over licensed companies. The actions taken by a corporation in the form of audits, investigative market research and other actions help determine if a licensee is paying the appropriate royalties or whether another company is using the product or trademark without authorization.
BD Consulting and Investigations Inc. has helped our clients, through audits and other means increase their royalty payments from licensees and identify those companies which are not licensed.
