Licensing

You can give someone else permission to use your registered design by granting them a licence.

The terms of any licence are entirely a matter between you and the licensee, and we do not have any powers to investigate the validity of a licence.

You or the licensee should register the licence, or cancellation of a licence, with us and we will record it in the register of designs.

Fill in Form DF12A

To register a licence or cancellation of a licence you need to fill in form DF12A. There is no charge for this.
