Free Webinar 💫 How to exploit and commercialise your IP through licensing – 11am 12 September 2023. Want to join an ACID webinar to consider the benefits of licensing your designs to third parties as an alternative to selling them outright? If so, it is important to understand all the distinct types of licensing models so that you fully understand all the terms and conditions to which you will agree. For example, you may have identified a company which has the marketing and sales capacity through which your product can reach new markets or a manufacturing capability through which you could fast track more production and, therefore, sales? If so, it is time to find out more about licensing and what is involved! The small print in any agreement counts regarding terms which are fair and to which you both agree to work. A successful licensing relationship should be viewed as a long-term plan from the basis of mutual respect, with the small print tied up legally to protect both parties. On 12 September at 11.00 am, ACID’s co-founder and CEO @dids-macdonald-obe, OBE., will introduce Kelly Hudson, a design law expert, trade mark attorney and Director of ACID’s legal Affiliate McDaniels Law, to share some of her practical insights into the essentials for a licensing relationship to work.

It actually is possible to make things in America and to retool your manufacturing operations to do so. One thing that jumped out at me is the long arc to success: Bath & Body Works started this initiative back in 2008. You can't rush implementing supply chain localization and increased automation, which is all the more reason to start your company's journey ASAP. Too often we see manufacturers dragging their feet to start making necessary changes, only to try and make up for lost time by pushing for quick implementations of individual projects. When companies rush to get quick implementations instead of executing on a thoughtful long-term strategy, they end up rushing to failure. Companies need to consider other factors such as: 1. Training local facility personnel to manage the equipment 2. Incentivizing said facility personnel to get trained 3. Handling future equipment maintenance 4. Budgeting for the time and cost of design iterations as you learn from the first deployment(s)
