Distribution Agreements
A distribution agreement is referred to in the business as the union of a brewer and a distributor. And just like in terms of marriage, leaving a distribution agreement can be expensive and complicated. Regarding the distribution laws that govern the agreements between breweries and distributor franchises in the US, each state has its specific set of rules. Breweries, therefore, need a specialist, like the Beer Attorney, who has experience helping brewers all over the United States.
Licensing
Just like your first time driving your car, you cannot operate it without a license. The same goes for running your brewery; it will also require a business license. Like a driving instructor, our attorney at Beer Attorney will help you during the licensing procedure, similar to a driving school instructor, so your brewery can be effectively "operated." Additionally, our team of attorneys can help you with the following:
- Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) Licensing
- COLA label approvals
- License Conversion
- State Licensing
- License Amendments
- Application Review
Copyrights
A piece of art is worth owning, and copyright is the only way to do so. To avoid copyright infringement on your designs, our attorneys can assist you in submitting, acquiring, and registering a license of ownership copyright. With the aid of our service, you can practice ownership of your design for 95 to 120 years with just one copyright filing.
