Intellectual property assets are incredibly valuable. For many companies and organizations, intellectual property assets are critical to the long-term success of the business. In collaboration with our clients, our intellectual property attorneys define long-term goals to match the importance of each intellectual property matter to the overall business strategy.
Who We Are
As organizations continue to grow and innovate, our team assists leaders in implementing the programs necessary to identify and capitalize upon designs and innovations of the organization. Our attorneys have extensive experience helping intellectual property owners and holders make the best use of their portfolio in order to maximize its value, whether that involves turning dormant intellectual property into something that turns a profit or helps the intellectual property owner and holder expand their products into new markets.
How We Help
Intellectual property licensing is a common practice that can convey benefits for both the owner and the licenser of the asset. Our attorneys help draft intellectual property licensing agreements that enable the inventor to retain ownership of the patent, copyright, or trademark, while allowing another party to use some or all the asset in exchange for a fee.
In these agreements the details matter and our attorneys are extremely mindful of that. They draft and negotiate agreements covering patented technology, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. They also help businesses in the development stage in-license technology from incubator facilities, founders, developers, and strategic partners.
By understanding our clients’ long-term plans and product development roadmaps, our team can advise on the value of each individual intellectual property matter. Because of this prowess, clients turn to us for guidance during mergers and acquisitions to understand how a target’s intellectual property assets will complement their current portfolio. Many also come to our intellectual property attorneys for guidance on the proper way to display patent numbers/trademark registration symbols/copyright notices on products and product packaging, and our attorneys help clients devise a consistent approach to incorporating these proper markings and notices across their portfolio, ensuring complete protection.
Additionally, we help IP owners to utilize/exploit their intellectual property in ways that make sense for them, whether that is turning dormant IP into something that turns a profit or helping the IP owner to expand their products into new markets. Attorneys negotiate and draft the following:
- Collaborative Research Agreements
