What Licensing and Distribution Services Does Brodsky Law Offer?
Licensing and distribution agreements are among the most important commercial contracts a business can enter into — they determine how products, intellectual property, and services reach the marketplace and generate revenue. Whether you are granting an exclusive license for proprietary technology, negotiating a distribution agreement for consumer products, or evaluating a franchise opportunity, the terms of these agreements define the scope of rights granted, territorial restrictions, royalty structures, and the obligations of each party. Sasha Brodsky has advised clients on licensing and distribution matters in Santa Cruz and throughout California since 1998.
California imposes specific legal requirements on certain licensing and distribution arrangements. The California Franchise Investment Law (Corporations Code Section 31000 et seq.) requires franchisors to provide extensive pre-sale disclosures and imposes substantive protections for franchisees — and its broad definition of "franchise" can capture arrangements that parties may not have intended as franchise relationships. Distribution agreements must carefully address territorial rights, exclusivity provisions, minimum purchase requirements, and termination rights. License agreements — whether exclusive or non-exclusive — require precise drafting of the scope of the license grant, sublicensing rights, royalty calculation methods, and audit provisions. Sasha works to structure licensing and distribution agreements that protect his clients' commercial interests while complying with California law.
Sasha's scope of counsel includes but is not limited to:
Whether you need to draft an exclusive license agreement, negotiate a distribution contract, evaluate franchise compliance obligations, or resolve a dispute over territorial rights or royalty payments, Sasha provides experienced counsel through every stage of the licensing and distribution process — from initial structuring and negotiation through execution and enforcement. He works to ensure that his clients' revenue streams are protected and that their commercial relationships are clearly defined.
