In today’s global marketplace, licensors of intellectual property (IP) face myriad challenges in protecting intangible assets. Failure to actively and effectively manage, monitor and control the use of licensed IP can present serious consequences such as unauthorized use, dilution of value and understatement of revenues. Compliance issues often arise in licensing agreements due to various factors that inhibit business partners from appropriately and accurately using, and reporting royalties on, IP.
Whether you are a licensor or licensee, an effective management and compliance program is necessary to enable the detection of such factors in a timely manner, and allow IP holders and business partners to resolve issues before they become significant problems.
