Licensing Starter Pack for Surface Pattern Designers

The Licensing Starter Pack for Surface Pattern Designers is the ultimate “start here” bundle for surface designers who want to monetise their intellectual property properly, and get paid for it (because you deserve that 💅). 

This bundle combines two powerful resources designed specifically for surface pattern designers who offer patterns through an online pattern library or digital licensing platform: 

1. Licensing T&Cs for Surface Pattern Designers – setting out the legal rules your licensees must follow when using your patterns. 
2. Essential Licensing Kit – giving you the practical tools to manage everything that happens after the licence starts (tracking, compliance, payments, audits, and infringement issues). 

The Licensing T&Cs clearly define what your licensees can and can’t do with your patterns, how payment works (royalties or one-off fees, your call), and what happens if someone breaches the terms. The Essential Licensing Kit then helps you stay in control with templates and tools that make your licensing process easy, organised, and enforceable. 

So whether you’re licensing patterns once a year or scaling a full licensing empire, this pack makes sure your designs stay protected, your payments stay tracked, and your licensing boundaries stay crystal clear.

IMPORTANT 

Purchasing our fill in your blanks templates for you to customise and ensure they suit you and your business needs, utilising our free resources or having a chat with us as part of a consultation doesn’t create a lawyer-client relationship between you and Foundd Legal (sorry!). It also doesn’t constitute legal advice. Please consult with a lawyer for any questions. 

We do offer templates for countries outside of Australia, you will see on the specific template page which country or countries the template is available for, just make your selection! Unfortunately, at this time, we are only offering templates for the countries specified. 

Our templates are however customisable for countries outside of Australia, and whilst they are a good base and potentially save you money getting something created from scratch, it would be prudent to have a lawyer in your country to review the template especially if you have any questions. 

You get a single user licence and can re-use the templates you purchase as many times as you want for your own business needs! But keep in mind we’re a small business just like you, offering a service and we need more people like you to help us continue to grow - just like you! So from the bottom of our humble hearts, thank you for making a legit purchase and not sharing! Use of this Site and your purchase of any digital products or downloading of any free resources, are subject to our Terms and Conditions.
