How does invoicing work?

You can create different invoice templates for your invoices. An invoice template has a tax type and can only be assigned to a case with the same tax type.

The invoice will typically be generated after the alleged infringer has paid the case. The licensee can download the invoice in the Settlement Portal upon completion of the payment process.

If you want to provide an invoice to the licensee before making a payment, you can enable this option by activating the “Allow invoice generation before payment” option in the licensing offer overview of the respective case. The licensee can then generate an invoice in the Settlement Portal after having entered the billing address.

Once generated, the invoice is displayed in the “Case activities” section of a case and in the “Invoices” management view (under Accounting > Invoices).
