Proactive initiatives designed to monitor and promote awareness of actual software usage, as well as associated licensing obligations and restrictions. License Management services strengthen the business relationship, foster transparency and trust between the IP owner and the licensee, and ensure full compliance with contractual obligations.

Through targeted advisory services, licensees gain a comprehensive understanding of licensing terms, usage rights, and applicable policies. This empowers them to manage their software investments more effectively and maintain ongoing compliance. These services are typically initiated by the IP owner and directed toward a specific group of licensees

Strategic initiatives aimed at monitoring, evaluating, and strengthening the adherence of channel partners to contractual, commercial, and licensing obligations. Partner Compliance services promote fairness across the partner ecosystem, protect intellectual property rights, and mitigate legal and financial risks for the IP owner.

These services involve assessments, education, and enforcement mechanisms that clarify expectations and drive responsible business conduct among distributors, resellers, and other intermediaries. By fostering transparency and accountability, Partner Compliance programs enhance the long-term value of the channel relationship and ensure alignment with the IP owner’s compliance framework and business goals. Typically, these services are led by the IP owner and selectively applied to high-impact or high-risk partner segments.

Independent audit services designed to verify the accuracy of royalty reporting and ensure that payments and usage declarations align with the terms of licensing agreements. Royalty Audits help safeguard the IP owner’s revenue, provide transparency in financial relationships, and reinforce the integrity of licensing frameworks.

Through detailed analysis of sales records, sublicense agreements, and usage data, these audits identify underreporting, misclassifications, or non-compliance issues. The process fosters mutual accountability and encourages good-faith reporting practices. Royalty Audits are typically initiated by the IP owner under audit clauses in licensing contracts and may target specific licensees based on risk indicators or materiality thresholds.
