I will draft a canadian IP licensing agreement
Licensed Canadian Lawyer, Commercial Contracts and IP Law
About this Gig
Licensing your intellectual property with a generic US or online template can strip you of your rights under Canadian lawespecially if moral rights waivers, improvement ownership, or trademark quality control rules are missing.
As a licensed Canadian lawyer (Melinda Rose, #53612R), I draft custom, enforceable IP licensing agreements that let you monetize your assets while keeping strict control of your ownership.
I draft agreements for trademarks, software/SaaS, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and commercial products across Canada and cross-border markets.
What your agreement covers:
- Clear grant of rights (Exclusive, Non-Exclusive, Territory, and Market)
- Royalty formulas, milestone payments, late penalties, and audit rights
- Canadian IP protections, moral rights waivers, and derivative work rules
- Quality control standards (essential to protect Canadian trademarks)
- Warranties, indemnification, liability caps, and termination clawbacks
Every clause is built around your exact revenue model.

FAQ
Why do I need a Canadian-specific IP licensing agreement?
Canadian IP law has distinct requirements—such as statutory moral rights under the Copyright Act and strict quality control rules under Section 50 of the Trademarks Act. Missing these clauses can invalidate your IP protection.
Can this agreement cover both Canadian and US/international territories?
Yes. If you are licensing IP across borders, I structure the governing law, jurisdiction, currency rules, and territorial definitions to protect you in every market you operate in.
How do I make sure the licensee actually pays my royalties?
I include clear payment schedules, automatic interest on late payments, book-and-record audit rights, and immediate termination triggers if royalties go unpaid.
Who owns improvements or modifications made to my IP?
Unless your contract explicitly states otherwise, a licensee might claim ownership over modifications they create. I draft strict "grant-back" and improvement clauses so you retain full ownership.
Can you review a licensing contract sent to me by another company?
Yes. Send the draft via Fiverr message, and I can review and redline the document to remove hidden IP transfers and unfair liability traps.
