How it works
A plain-English process.
A short call to understand what you create and how it is used.
A clearance search and written options.
Filing, drafting or negotiation as agreed.
Monitoring and renewals.
Reviews as your products and markets change.
Questions
Answers to what clients ask.
How do I know if my name is available?
We run searches and give you a written view of the risks before you commit.
Who owns work a contractor creates?
It depends on the agreement. We draft contractor terms so ownership is clear from the start.
Do I need a licence agreement?
If someone else uses your work or you use theirs, a written licence is almost always sensible.
