They can be sold, licensed, mortgaged and grown through use. Companies need to consider their own IP and decide how best to deploy it. This usually involves a mixture of activities and also interaction with third parties (e.g. licensees, third party owners of complementary IP who license them to the company, purchasers or joint venture partners).<\/p>\n<p>When deciding whether to keep and use, license, collaborate or sell IP assets, companies need to consider a number of issues related to their own resources and the particular market they wish to access. These include attitude to risk; financial, skills and knowledge resources; timescale to be market-ready; nature of the products\/services; and cost\/pricing constraints.<\/p>\n<p>We have advised businesses across many industry sectors on how to put themselves into the best position to secure a favourable return on investment in respect of their IP assets. This has involved ensuring clients have access to all the relevant IP they require for their projects, e.g. by ensuring the proper capture and protection of IP rights; acquiring third party IP rights through purchase or licensing; negotiating the sale of IP rights to third parties; negotiating licences\/franchise agreements with third parties; and advising on the use of IP assets as security for loans.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-fullwidth-2  fusion-parallax-none nonhundred-percent-fullwidth\" style=\"border-color:#eae9e9;border-bottom-width: 0px;border-top-width: 0px;border-bottom-style: solid;border-top-style: solid;padding-bottom:20px;padding-top:20px;padding-left:;padding-right:;background-color:#ffffff;\"><style type=\"text\/css\" scoped=\"scoped\">.fusion-fullwidth-2 {\n                            padding-left: px !important;\n                            padding-right: px !important;\n                        }<\/style><div class=\"fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-one-full fusion-layout-column fusion-column-last fusion-spacing-yes\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-sep-none fusion-title-size-one large-title\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><h1 class=\"title-heading-left\">Success stories<\/h1><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-one-third fusion-layout-column fusion-spacing-yes story-1\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-animated\" data-animationType=\"fadeInUp\" data-animationDuration=\"0.2\" data-animationOffset=\"100%\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-sep-none fusion-title-size-four\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><h4 class=\"title-heading-left\">Licensing rights overseas<\/h4><\/div><p>Our team advised a UK based major brand owner in the clothing industry on the licensing of its rights into the overseas markets.
