License agreements are complex contracts involving royalty scales, fields of use, territorial grants and reporting requirements. Managing compliance of these agreements can be difficult. Yet, given the significant value associated with intellectual property, ensuring appropriate compensation for a licensee’s use is critical.

Our intellectual property professionals act as an independent third party in auditing the historical compliance by licensees. Since many licenses are granted to competitors, an unbiased third party is important to maintaining the confidentiality of both the licensor’s and licensee’s business information. Our experienced teams of intellectual property professionals frequently evaluate license agreements and the complex terms associated with the payment of royalties.
