Digital Assets, Branding & IP Transactions (IPX)

Licensing your intellectual property can expand your revenue streams and propel your business into new markets. Other companies are willing to pay well established brands for use of their IP assets in their own products and services. Capitalizing on these opportunities while protecting your IP investments requires diligent legal guidance. The Han Santos team has in-house experience helping companies build some of the world’s most recognizable brands, including T-Mobile and Warner Bros. We can help you successfully identify licensing opportunities, turn potential adversaries into partners, and defend your assets.

Gaining returns on your IP investments

Your business name, logo, domains, and design elements are the face of your brand identity. The brand sets the initial tone of the customer experience, connects deeper over time, and hopefully results in brand loyalty.
