IP Licensing

IP Licensing

Licensing is a contractual agreement granting permission to use one?s rights to an intellectual property under specific conditions. Licensing agreements, in which one company contracts to buy technology from another company, can be much faster, easier and cheaper to arrange than trying to challenge an intellectual property claim in court.

We realize that each of our clients has its own special legal needs; therefore, we make it a point to understand not only the law but also the business of each client. We help our clients to concentrate on structuring, negotiating and documenting a wide variety of arrangements to acquire, develop, protect and distribute technologies, both domestically and internationally. These include:

- Licensing and distribution;
- Consulting and service agreements;
- Development;
- Outsourcing;
- Joint ventures and strategic alliances;
- Manufacturing and supply;
- Internet and e-commerce;
- Marketing, promotion and merchandising agreements; and
- IP auditing and counseling, copyright, trademark, trade secret and patent licenses.
