Overview

Licensing a trademark abroad can be fraught with traps for the unwary. Local laws can impact the enforceability of your agreements  and unenforceable or voidable agreements can jeopardize your trademark rights. Moreover, certain countries have specific laws that can prevent or impact the collection of royalties.

  • Differing treatment of how trademark rights are secured in different countries
  • Requirements in different countries for collecting royalties
  • How to prevent loss of your trademark rights, including to your licensee
  • Alternative structures
