Licensing looks like income without cost. The technology already exists; someone else pays to use it.
Then the licensee applies it to a field you never contemplated. Or sub-licenses it onward. Or improves it and claims the improvement. Or reports royalties you have no way to verify.
A licence granted too broadly cannot be narrowed, and a licence with no audit right is a royalty you simply hope is accurate.
Technology and IP Licensing Agreement
Licensing documentation covering exactly what is licensed, the field of use, territory and exclusivity, sub-licensing rights, royalty or fee structure with reporting and audit, ownership of improvements, quality and compliance obligations, and termination with clean cessation of use.
Your Vision, Backed by the Right Legal Support
You build the business. We help you protect it.
Imagine a licence generating revenue in a defined field and territory, with royalties reported and auditable, improvements accounted for, and a termination right that restores your position if the licensee underperforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legal That Works?
Legal That Works is a digital-first legal service designed by ASCO LAW (Messrs Akmal Saufi & Co) specifically for business owners and founders. We help you structure, grow, and protect your business through practical legal solutions—delivered fast, in plain English & Bahasa Malaysia, and with no office visit required.
What if I’m not sure what legal service I need?
No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts! Just reach out. Our team will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options—without jargon or upselling.
What is a field of use restriction?
It limits the licence to defined applications, so you can license the same technology into other fields separately. It is often the most commercially valuable clause.
Should we grant exclusivity?
Only tied to performance. Unconditional exclusivity removes your ability to respond if the licensee does not deliver.
Who owns improvements the licensee makes?
Whatever the agreement says. Silence here creates a genuinely difficult dispute.
How do we verify royalties?
Through reporting obligations and an audit right. Without both, royalties are self-reported and unverifiable.
Does the IP need to be registered first?
Not always, but registered rights are far easier to license and enforce. We will advise on your portfolio.
Are your services affordable?
Our transparent fee structure means no billing surprises. Membership unlocks the best rates, but even one-off services are designed to be clear and competitive. You’ll always know what you pay.
Who will be helping me?
All our services are delivered by our licensed lawyers under the Malaysian Bar with proven experience across industries. You’ll work with a real legal team, not chatbots or generic customer support.
Is everything done online?
Yes. Our service is fully digital. You can consult, review documents, sign agreements, and access your files securely from anywhere. No office visit required unless you want to meet in person. No office visit is required. If you require us to attend at your office or outside meetings, additional charges will apply.
