Practical guidance for IP lawyers advising clients on succession and post-mortem control of intangible portfolios. This session focuses on drafting airtight testamentary assignments, trust and corporate succession structures, and tailored licensing regimes to preserve goodwill and enforceability. Topics include maintaining use and renewal obligations for trademarks, documenting chain-of-title, valuation and tax considerations, rights-of-first-refusal and consent mechanics, enforcement and policing after transfer, and drafting caretaker and management provisions. Attendees will gain contract clauses, checklist items, and risk-mitigation strategies to ensure IP survives ownership transitions and remains commercially exploitable.
