Hello all!
We've had incredible feedback about the talks that Ben and Tom from Asenda Law gave at the Font Business and Fonts and AI conferences we hosted last year. So we've asked Tom to give a seminar to foundries specifically on how to protect their business by bulletproofing their EULAs.

Here's more info:

Foundries often fall at the final hurdle. They have incredible fonts but poorly drafted EULAs, exposing their fonts to infringement and limiting revenue.

Join IP and commercial lawyer Tom Broster of Asenda Law and Nadine (of I Love Typography) for a focused, practical session built specifically for font foundries that are serious about protecting what is theirs.

Tom will arm you with the knowledge to transform your EULA from a formality into a real legal shield. You’ll discover which key clauses separate a strong license from a weak one, why your terms might not actually bind your customers — and how to avoid that problem, exactly where your tick boxes need to be to hold up when it counts, how to structure your agreements so unauthorized uses become easier to enforce, smart strategies for navigating the minefield of selling across jurisdictions where fonts are treated very differently, and what the rise of AI means for your licences — and the steps you should be taking now.

Whether you’re launching your first foundry or have been in the game for years, this session will change how you think about your font licensing.


Seminar is on the 21st and you can sign up here:

Thanks,

    I see they are based in the UK, as you are. To which jurisdiction(s) is the seminar advice applicable?

    Sorry for the late reply! I expect that most of our conversation will not be territory specific. This is because the seminar is specific to EULAs and not other aspects of corporate law which will differ by jurisdiction. But when it is UK specific, Tom will point it out. He's familiar with US and EU laws but in terms of territories he will only draft contracts based on England and Wales.

    Good luck with it all Nadine, but I'm hard pressed to understand who is the audience for this. Surly anyone who is seriously involved with type design and selling font licensing already has the advice they need to draft their font licensing agreements.

    Thank you all for you "Disagree"comments. So good to know we are not or ever will be on the same page. Such a pity this negative feedback remains hidden
