Strong contracts help protect intellectual property, define payment terms, and govern restrictions on resale and advertising. They clarify each party’s responsibilities, reduce the risk of inadvertent violations, and provide a clear framework for audits, renewals, and disputes. In Hyattsville and beyond, careful drafting supports growth while limiting exposure.
A holistic framework aligns licensing across portfolios, enabling stronger protection for IP. Clear controls, renewal strategies, and audit rights discourage leakage or misrepresentation, helping brands maintain integrity while expanding into new markets.
