How a Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Licensing Agreement in Tennessee

In 2026, a business in Tennessee sought assistance with a licensing agreement for designs involving mahjong tiles and related accessories. The client had drafted an initial version of the agreement and needed a professional review to ensure that their rights were fully protected while retaining ownership of the copyright. Key concerns included the clarity of terms and formatting, as well as the appropriate language for granting an exclusive license for worldwide production and distribution for a term of three years at a 5% royalty rate. As a result, the client received 14 proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $400 to $1,200. All proposals were submitted to meet the client's deadline of less than one week, ensuring timely assistance for this important project.
