Brokering Intellectual Property Since the Age of Ideas
The license broker maps the landscape of intellectual property -- identifying assets that hold unrealised value, matching creators with markets they cannot see from their studio or laboratory. Discovery is the first act of brokerage: finding what deserves to be licensed.
Between the creator's valuation and the licensee's budget lies a territory of mutual benefit. The broker navigates this territory with the precision of a Victorian cartographer, mapping terms, royalties, exclusivity zones, and duration until the landscape reveals an agreement both parties can inhabit.
The license agreement is a living document -- a contract that anticipates change, accommodates growth, and provides mechanisms for resolution when the unforeseen occurs. A well-brokered agreement is not a cage but a framework: rigid enough to protect, flexible enough to endure.
The broker's work is done when the agreement outlives the negotiation -- when both parties prosper under terms they helped to shape.
