First questions

What we will ask first

  1. 01What work, and who owns which rights?
  2. 02Which territories and channels?
  3. 03What do the licences say?
  4. 04What has been used, and by whom?

The approach

How WONE Global usually approaches it

  1. Step 1Review chain of title and licences.
  2. Step 2Clear, license or enforce by territory.
  3. Step 3Claim royalties or resolve disputes.
  4. Step 4Tidy agreements for the future.

What is needed varies by country and by matter. Your WONE Global professional confirms the work, timing and fees before anything starts.

Across borders

Complications to check

Issues to assess when more than one country is involved. They are prompts, not conclusions about any country's law.

  • IP territory & exhaustionProtected rights and permitted resale differ by market and product
  • Different laws of contractParties sign one commercial agreement but disagree which law governs duties, damages and remedies
  • Court vs arbitration forumAgreement uses arbitration while assets and key witnesses are in different countries
