IP Licensing & Commercialisation

IP licensing allows rights holders to permit third parties to use their IP in exchange for royalties or other consideration, without transferring ownership. Well-drafted licence agreements define scope precisely — the territory, the products or services covered, the exclusivity or non-exclusivity, the royalty structure, sublicensing rights, quality standards, and termination provisions.

CBhatt Law Office advises on both inbound licensing (acquiring rights to use IP owned by others) and outbound licensing (monetising IP you own). We also advise on technology transfer agreements, software licensing, franchise arrangements, and IP assignments.

Commercialisation strategy often involves determining the right structure for a business relationship — whether a formal licence, a joint venture, a technology transfer, or an outright assignment is most appropriate depends on the commercial context, the relative bargaining positions, and the long-term objectives of both parties.
