Royalty collection services / Audits

What can Hortis Legal do for you?

We will draw up a licence contract between you - the licensor - and the licensee. Naturally, your wish is our command in that regard.

When plant variety rights are involved, we will also supervise contract compliance and collect royalties. If necessary, we will conduct site inspections or attend auctions. You can therefore be certain that everything is as it should be and that your rights are protected.


We can check your licensee's accounts for compliance with the terms of the license contract.
We can also check on your behalf whether the financial (sales) administration of your licensee matches the royalty statements.

Hortis Legal can help you to bring a new plant variety to the market. Our years of experience and the numerous licensing contracts we have drawn up have given us a wide network in the sector. This means that we can accurately estimate your sales potential and marketing options.
