Spotting the Hidden License in Client Agreements

Everyone wants to know how to license their intellectual property. Completely ignoring the fact that they are already licensing their IP to their clients. 🤯

In my latest LinkedIn Live, I took a deep dive into this critical yet often overlooked aspect of client agreements. Check out the recording here, which includes slides that serve as a decoder of the subtle language that could potentially alter the fate of your intellectual property rights.

• The Crucial Role of Intellectual Property Protection: As you know, understanding copyright ownership and permissions isn't just legal mumbo jumbo—it's a cornerstone of building scalable and recurring revenue offers.

• Decoding the Language of Ownership: Whether it's work-for-hire, assignments, or licenses, the terminology can be daunting. This episode helps you get clear on each of these concepts and how they affect your rights and control over your work.

• Why the Language in Client Agreements Matters: The words used in client agreements carry weight. Learn how to examine these documents with a critical eye, ensuring that the agreements you enter support your business goals and protect your intellectual property.

Remember--if you include any of your own work with client deliverables, you are already licensing your IP to your clients.

Make sure you understand what your client agreements say about rights in and restrictions on your intellectual property.

IP is fuel! 🚀
