International IP and technology licensing.
Intellectual property rights are territorial: a trade mark or patent protects you only where it is registered or recognised. Licensing technology across borders also raises tax, export control and royalty questions that a domestic licence does not.
What the business is trying to achieve.
Technology owners, brand owners and licensees protecting or licensing IP in new markets.
Rights protected in the markets that matter, and licences whose scope, royalties and controls work in each country.
From objective to agreed work.
Each step is agreed before it starts. Specialist firms are engaged by you directly and remain responsible for their own advice.
Your commercial objective, markets and constraints are reviewed, and the requirement is restated in plain language.
The decisions are organised in order, with the evidence each depends on and the questions that need qualified advice.
The disciplines and firms needed are identified across the six institutions and the independent firms beyond them.
If you proceed, the coordination scope, deliverables and any coordination fee are agreed in writing.
Where contracted, UNBOUNDED coordinates the work plan, milestones and decision points with the engaged firms.
Defined deliverables.
The deliverables that apply depend on the agreed scope. Professional deliverables, such as opinions, filings and documents, come from the firms you engage.
IP law and prosecution, licensing, tax, export controls and enforcement.
Clear terms.
UNBOUNDED's role is research and coordination. Regulated legal, tax, audit, financial and other professional advice is provided only under separate engagements.
Filings, freedom-to-operate opinions and licence drafting are carried out by IP firms under their own engagement.
Submitting a requirement is free. A coordination fee, where one applies, is agreed in writing once the scope is known. Professional fees are agreed with the firms directly.
UNBOUNDED never takes a referral or success fee from any firm.
Nothing confidential is needed at first contact. Private requirements are never used as general research or for AI training.
A German engineering firm plans to license a production process to a manufacturer in Vietnam. It needs to protect the know-how, set royalties and check export control and tax implications.
This example describes a typical situation for explanation only. It does not describe a client, a result or an endorsement.
