Long Beach, California, Licensing Attorneys

Licensing a patented product allows the patent owner or inventor to benefit from the distribution and sale of that product. A licensing agreement between a patent owner and a manufacturing company gives that company the right to produce your product in return for specific compensation. If you do not have a patent for your product and do not have a licensing agreement, you may lose the right to prevent others from using your idea or invention.

Our lawyers help people protect their ownership rights in an invention or idea by drafting license agreements between patent owners and manufacturing, distribution, or retail businesses. Having an enforceable license agreement is the first step on the road to protecting your asset. To learn more about the licensing work of our legal team, contact us at Zwierzchowski & Nguyen.

We work with clients to determine the scope of the license agreement, which typically includes a statement of:

• The term of the agreement
• The right to change or adapt the product, if any
• What a licensee cannot do
• The right to source code, if applicable
• The responsibility of the license holder for training and testing
• Warranties
• Liability limitations
• Nondisclosure
• Enforcement measures and remedies

Our licensing attorneys at Zwierzchowski & Nguyen can assess your situation and determine the best way to proceed. We offer a free initial consultation and accept credit cards for your convenience. Let us explain your options and educate you on your rights. Contact our Long Beach office today.
