How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Software Licensing Agreement in Washington

In 2024, a business in Washington sought assistance with reviewing a licensing agreement for a manufactured product. The client aimed to create a more balanced agreement that favored the licensee, expressing specific concerns about the initial terms that provided excessive leverage to the licensor. They also wanted to extend the licensing term to three years or until funding opportunities were fulfilled, while inquiring about legal representation requirements due to their incorporation in Delaware and intended operations in New York. As a result, the client received 12 proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $1,000, all submitted to ensure timely completion within the requested deadline of less than a week.
