Licensing agreements grant permission to use intellectual property under defined terms, duration, and territory. They typically include quality controls, payment terms, and performance thresholds to protect brand value. These contracts coordinate with distribution terms to ensure consistent brand messaging and revenue flow. A well crafted licensing agreement also addresses termination rights, post termination obligations, and dispute resolution to prevent gaps that could harm both parties.
A distribution agreement focuses on the sale and movement of products through specified channels, detailing duties, pricing, logistics, and territory coverage. Licensing centers on IP use, while distribution governs the physical flow of goods and market access for the products under the license.
A limited approach may suit straightforward products or established partners with predictable terms and lower risk. A comprehensive service is advisable for evolving product lines, multiple territories, or complex licensing structures where risk management and long term planning are critical.

Negotiation timelines depend on contract complexity and the number of stakeholders. Simple licenses may conclude in weeks, while multi jurisdiction agreements can take several months. We coordinate timelines with your internal teams to minimize disruption and keep targets in reach.
