Matters needing attention in signing intellectual property contract

Intellectual property rights have a statutory time limit, such as 20 years for invention patents and 10 years for trademarks. When the term expires, the intellectual property rights will be owned by the society, and anyone can no longer pay the royalties when using them.

Therefore, when concluding an intellectual property licensing contract, we should first investigate the legal status of the licensed intellectual property; In addition, the validity of the contract should not exceed the protection period of rights. If the term of protection of rights exceeds the time limit, it may be agreed that the contract shall be terminated at the expiration of the time limit of rights.
