We’re proud to share that our partner, Jed Ferdinand, Chair of MSF’s Intellectual Property Group, was recently featured in Licensing International’s article, “Addressing the Impact of Tariffs”.

In the piece, Jed discusses how rising U.S. tariffs—especially the steep 145% rate on certain imports from China—are creating real concerns for the brand licensing industry. From supply chain disruptions to stalled licensing deals, these changes are hitting both licensors and licensees in significant ways.

Jed also explores how force majeure provisions may (or may not) offer relief and highlights what companies can do now to protect themselves when drafting or revisiting agreements.
