Article: licensing the manufacture of goods overseas

Elizabeth Ward from Virtuoso Legal has been helping UK Trade and Investment put together a brochure on how to get involved in licensing the manufacture of goods overseas. For many innovative clients, the cost of physically shipping goods can make exporting unattractive. However using a licensing regime goods and services can be made and delivered overseas with minimal
cost to the UK originator. Many clients are familiar with licensing software for example but similar principles can be used to provide goods in different parts of the World simply by providing overseas partners with the know how and brand to deliver the goods and services - subject of course to a royalty payment.

Whilst many exporters are aware of the idea of distributors and agents selling their goods and services, the use of licensing is less understood. However, licensing can often be a far more worthwhile option and is far less risky than joint ventures or similar "tying" busines arrangements.

If you could like a copy of the brochure and further details of its launch date and associated training, then contact liz@virtuosolegal.com
