Mike Whelan
Chief Community Officer

In this episode of the Contract Teardown, attorney Steve Sedberry shares his views on trademark licensing best practices using a deceptively short agreement.

  • The law’s focus on consumer protection rather than commercial benefit; and
  • Why negotiations are the time to be thorough when it comes to leveraging a trademark.
