FAQ
Can this contract cover "Patent Pending" status?
Yes. It handles both issued US/foreign patents and pending patent applications, with clauses adjusting royalties upon patent grant or rejection.
Who owns future improvements made to the patented technology?
I draft explicit grant-back or ownership retention clauses to ensure improvements made by either party do not compromise the licensor's core patent estate.
How are minimum performance obligations enforced?
I draft "commercial diligence" and minimum annual royalty clauses, giving the licensor the right to terminate or convert an exclusive license to non-exclusive if milestones are missed.
What happens if a third party infringes the licensed patent?
The agreement establishes who must bear the costs of litigation, who retains settlement proceeds, and the rights of both parties to enforce the patent.
How does the contract address patent validity challenges?
I draft modern protective clauses consistent with legal precedent (Lear v. Adkins) to deter and govern licensee challenges to patent validity.
Can technical know-how and trade secrets be licensed together with the patent?
Yes. The Premium package covers hybrid licensing of patents along with unpatented proprietary know-how and technical data.
