In this rubric, the basics regarding Intellectual Property will be explained. #YouAskWeAnswer. We will now discuss agreements, our final subject.

Our advice

If you unexpectedly find yourself in a (legal) conflict, it is usually best to reach a settlement rather than instigate proceedings. Of course, in some cases starting legal proceedings cannot be avoided, but a settlement is usually preferable.

  • What a party may and may not do.
  • What a party must and must not do.
