To avoid potentially issues with current clients that I am currently designing for, researching into what the do's and dont's are when it comes to supplying logotypes and monograms, or even typeface res that are included within the brand guidelines for the identity.
Essentially, paying for the font is the first step in avoiding copyright issues. Normally the client would pay for the font which is covered within the budget of the project. A license can come with 1-5 licenses, one of these licenses allows you to install on one computer.
However, for the purpose of a logotype, which essentially never needs to be changed, outlining the type avoids the need for any licensing, therefore only one license needs to be purchased. As long as the OTF/TTF file is never transferred, no copyright is breached.
So essentially to avoid any copyright infringement when designing logo's, outline the type if supplying original EPS/AI/PDF files.
