Licensing expert witnesses in the IP Expert Witness Directory provide expert opinion in licensing disputes and related matters. Licensing involves the use of a trademark, brand, patent, copyright or other form of intellectual property by a third party (licensee) with the agreement of the owner of the intellectual property (licensor).
When licensing, the licensee generally agrees to pay the IP owner a royalty fee for the use of the intellectual property. The royalty rate terms are expressed in the licensing agreement along with a number of other clauses. These stipulations cover elements such as upfront fees, minimum royalty payments, marketing and advertising spend, and the contract period.
The licensing agreement is designed to protect both the licensee and licensor and govern the terms of engagement. When this licensing relationship breaks down, a licensing expert witness is often instructed by both sides and their legal representatives. The licensing expert witness can be used to establish liability, to mediate to reach a settlement or the licensing expert witness can be used in quantifying damages relating to the dispute about licensing.
