Associate Joanna Chen, Esq. and Managing Partner Daniel M. Cislo, Esq. of Cislo & Thomas LLP recently published an article entitled “Intellectual Property Licensing Agreements and How Definitions of ‘Affiliates’ or ‘Subsidiaries’ Can Make or Break Your Licensing Agreements” in the August 2015 issue of the Licensing Journal.

The cases in the article are from different jurisdictions and any comparisons between the cases are only to serve as points of consideration when drafting a contract, regardless of jurisdiction.
