Frequently asked questions
Should the IP be registered before licensing?
Ownership and protection status should be reviewed before granting rights, particularly where recordal or enforcement may become important.
What is the difference between a licence and a franchise?
A franchise normally combines brand use with an operating system and continuing controls; classification depends on the actual arrangement.
Can a foreign template simply be reused?
It should be reviewed for Syrian enforceability, language, registration, tax, competition, dispute and termination issues.
