# Drafting assignment and licence agreements

Source: https://luatbanquyen.com/en/services/assignment-and-licence-drafting · Updated: 2026-08-28

Drafts assignments or licences of IP rights, and records the contract with the authority where the law requires it.

The difference is that an assignment sells the right outright while a licence only permits use. For industrial property rights, an assignment takes effect only once recorded — the detail most often missed in home-made deals.

- **Who may perform this:** Lawyer, with an IP representative where the contract must be recorded
- **Timeline:** First draft within 5–7 working days
- **How pricing works:** Quoted by right type, number of parties and the complexity of the commercial terms.

## Deliverables

- A contract drafted for the right type and the agreed scope
- Clauses on scope, term, territory and royalties
- The recordal filing where registration is mandatory

## What you provide

- Details of the right being transferred and its title number, if any
- The commercial terms the parties have agreed
