Basics
We live in an information age, and the exchange, exploitation or protection of proprietary information is critical if not central to virtually every commercial activity. The ease of digital transmission of most information has elevated the need for careful attention to how a company's or an individual's intellectual property is used or protected, particularly when structuring a license relating to it. How will the information be used? In what media? For how long? What derivative uses are included? How will I be compensated (e.g. roylaties, flat fee, milestones, thresholds, markets, forms of media, exclusivity)? What constitutes projectile information? Who owns what when I have incorporated outside elements or services? What constitutes a use outside of the intended use(s), or triggers an instance of default or breach (and how can I structure the license to retain the possibility of injunctive relief rather than an award of money damages only)? A stitch in time saves nine. Clear thinking, creative negotiation and deep experience in identifying and resolving these types of questions, are assets to any licensing scenario.
