Our digital licensing agency helps publishers to set up licensing agreements with partners in institutional markets: advising on partnerships and sales models; negotiating contracts, commercial terms and protective clauses.
The agency specializes in digital rights in academic, professional, specialist, educational and non-fiction material including ebooks, scholarly journals, case studies and digital magazines.
It acts much like an out-of-house digital rights and ebook sales department for publishers:
- advising the publisher on digital partnerships and sales models;
- marketing the publisher’s list to appropriate digital markets;
- negotiating agreements.
It helps publishers to avoid pitfalls and make informed choices about digital partnerships and ever-evolving sales models.
Contracts are at the heart of the agency role. Each digital vendor has their own (different) standard contract, so the agency negotiates and advises in detail:
- negotiating keen commercial terms;
- carefully assessing business models;
- negotiating restrictive terms and adding protective wording.
