How to Make the Best Use of Your Licensing Agreement in China?

With a licensing agreement, the licensor grants the licensee a specific right to use their brand, patent, or trademark so that the licensor may retains the ownership rights to the licensed item, while getting a form of royalty fee upon use.

There are many things that need to be taken into considerations when drafting a licensing agreement between two parties. For example: What types of agreement exist, and which should you use? What are the items you need to cover within your agreement? Are there any additional tax considerations you need to be aware of?

It is essential to consider the legal aspect of such a transaction, take proper tax advice, and gather local knowledge before building such relationships.
