What We Check in a Licensing Agreement
Naming a clause is the easy half. This is what the review looks for inside each one:
A Royalties & Payment Terms Clause, Taken Apart
This is the shape of the reasoning a review applies to every clause in your licensing agreement.
The clause as it usually arrives
Licensee shall pay Licensor a royalty of five percent (5%) of net sales, payable annually.
What is wrong with it
'Net sales' is undefined, there is no audit right, and annual reporting means a mistake is discovered up to a year late.
Why it matters
Every deduction the licensee chooses to make — returns, freight, discounts, marketing allowances — comes out of the licensor's royalty, and without audit rights there is no way to check the figure that arrives.
Wording that fixes it
…five percent (5%) of Net Sales, where Net Sales means gross invoiced sales less only returns actually credited and sales taxes, payable quarterly within thirty (30) days of quarter end with a statement of calculation. Licensor may audit the relevant records once per year, at Licensor's cost unless an underpayment exceeding five percent (5%) is found.

Licensing Agreement Review — Questions
What is the difference between exclusive, sole and non-exclusive? +
Exclusive shuts out everyone including the licensor; sole shuts out other licensees but not the licensor; non-exclusive shuts out nobody. Agreements often use the words loosely, and the difference decides who you may find yourself competing against.
Why does a definition of net sales matter so much? +
Because every royalty is a percentage of it. An undefined base lets the deduction list grow after signature, and the effective royalty rate falls without a word of the contract changing.
Who should own improvements made by the licensee? +
There is no universal answer, but the clause should be explicit. Automatic assignment of all improvements to the licensor discourages investment by the licensee; silence produces an ownership dispute the first time an improvement is valuable.
Can I review a licence agreement free? +
Yes — six scores with explanations, no account. The rewrite, which produces a revised document, is the part that needs one.
