Question 1

What does a custom licensing agreement include?

Accepted Answer

Your custom licensing agreement will include:

• License scope defining permitted fields of use, markets, and territories
• Exclusivity provisions or non-exclusive rights as appropriate
• Clear royalty structures, payment terms, and late-payment remedies
• Quality control standards and audit/reporting rights
• IP ownership clarification and infringement handling procedures
• Sublicensing controls and assignment conditions
• Term duration, renewal options, and termination provisions
• Dispute resolution mechanisms

Each section is tailored specifically to your IP, business model, and licensing strategy to protect your rights and ensure compliance with US law.

Question 2

How long does it take to receive my licensing agreement?

Accepted Answer

Standard delivery is 3 business days from when we receive your completed AI questionnaire. Express delivery (1 business day) is available for an additional fee.

After checkout, we'll email you a short AI questionnaire to capture details about your intellectual property, license scope, territory, exclusivity preferences, and fee structure. Once you complete that, our attorneys begin drafting your agreement.

Question 3

Who drafts my licensing agreement?

Accepted Answer

Your agreement is drafted by licensed US attorneys with specialized experience in intellectual property and commercial licensing. Our team includes attorneys who have worked with technology companies, content creators, manufacturers, and franchisors to structure enforceable licensing arrangements that protect IP rights while supporting business growth.

Question 4

How does the AI questionnaire work?

Accepted Answer

After checkout, we email you a brief AI-powered questionnaire (typically 10–15 questions) about:

• Your intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, etc.)
• Intended license scope and fields of use
• Geographic territories and exclusivity preferences
• Royalty or fee structures and payment terms
• Quality control requirements
• Sublicensing and assignment preferences
• Term duration and renewal options

The questionnaire adapts based on your answers to gather exactly what our attorneys need. Most clients complete it in 10–20 minutes.

Question 5

Are revisions included?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One round of amendments is included at no additional cost. After you review the initial draft, you can request changes to any section—whether that's adjusting royalty calculations, modifying territory definitions, adding quality control provisions, or refining termination clauses.

If you need additional rounds of revisions beyond the first, they're available at a reduced rate.

Question 6

Can I speak with an attorney if I have questions?

Accepted Answer

Yes! A 20-minute consultation with the drafting attorney is included at no extra cost. This is helpful if you'd like to discuss strategy, ask questions about specific clauses, or get guidance on licensing terms.

You can book a consultation any time during or after the drafting process.

Question 7

What makes this different from a licensing template?

Accepted Answer

Generic templates can't adapt to your specific:

• IP type (patent vs. trademark vs. copyright vs. trade secret)
• Licensing model (exclusive, non-exclusive, sole license)
• Fee structure (upfront fees, royalties, minimum guarantees, milestone payments)
• Territory complexity (state-by-state, regional, or international considerations)
• Quality control and brand protection needs
• Sublicensing and assignment requirements

Our attorneys draft each agreement from scratch, incorporating the specific terms, protections, and compliance requirements your licensing relationship needs.

Question 8

Can you cover sublicensing and audit rights?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can include:

• Sublicensing controls, approval processes, and revenue-sharing arrangements
• Audit and inspection rights to verify sales/usage reporting
• Financial reporting requirements and schedules
• Performance milestones with remedies if targets are missed
• Quality assurance procedures and brand standards

These provisions help you maintain control over your IP while allowing your licensee operational flexibility.

Question 9

Does this agreement comply with US law?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All agreements are drafted to comply with US federal law and, where applicable, the specific laws of the states relevant to your licensing arrangement. This includes compliance with:

• Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) where applicable
• Federal and state intellectual property laws
• Antitrust and competition law considerations
• Tax and revenue recognition requirements
• Industry-specific regulations where relevant

Your agreement will also include choice-of-law and venue provisions to establish clear jurisdictional rules.

Question 10

What if we need to amend the agreement later?

Accepted Answer

We include guidance in your agreement on how to amend key provisions like scope, fields of use, territories, or fee structures. Most licensing agreements include an amendment clause specifying that changes must be in writing and signed by both parties.

If you need help drafting an amendment later (adding new territories, adjusting royalties, extending the term, etc.), we offer amendment drafting services at a reduced rate for existing clients.

Question 11

Can this agreement cover international licensing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though this service focuses on US law compliance. If your licensing arrangement involves international territories, we can include:

• Territory definitions for international markets
• Currency and foreign exchange provisions
• Export control and compliance clauses
• International dispute resolution mechanisms

For complex international licensing arrangements with significant foreign law considerations, we recommend using your included consultation so our attorneys can address multi-jurisdictional compliance requirements.

Question 12

What happens after I receive my agreement?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive your agreement as a Word document and PDF, along with:

• A cover memo explaining key provisions and their purpose
• Guidance on signing and execution
• Instructions for any state-specific filing or recording requirements
• Tips on managing the licensing relationship

You can share the agreement with your licensee for review, make any final adjustments with your included round of amendments, and then proceed to signing. If you need help with negotiation strategy or implementation, you can book your included consultation at any time.
