Some companies with whom we’ve negotiated on behalf of our clients:
We represent both licensors and licensees—always seeking creative ways to leverage valuable intellectual property rights and to maximize their sources of revenue. We prepare and review a broad spectrum of licensing agreements from traditional patent and software licenses to cutting-edge revenue-sharing agreements for emerging technologies. We assist our clients in licensing all types of technology and intellectual property, including:
- Patents and Know-how
- Software, Data and Hardware
- Cross-License Arrangements
- Proprietary Technologies
Strategic Alliances and Joint Ventures
Companies regularly collaborate or form domestic and international strategic alliances with synergistic partners to exploit technology-based products and services. These relationships often involve the formation of joint venture entities. When properly designed and implemented, strategic relationships are beneficial to both parties. Our lawyers are adept at structuring and drafting effective agreements for companies wishing to collaborate or ally themselves with others for purposes of implementing new technologies or expanding into new territories.
Data and Privacy
The collection, use, and sharing of personally identifiable information, both online and offline, is a challenging and ever-changing area of law. We advise clients on the requirements of privacy laws and regulations, as well as prepare and implement privacy policies, draft agreements with business partners to ensure compliance, and assist in the implementation of these policies as issues arise.
Internet
Our lawyers regularly draft and update online privacy policies, as well as terms and conditions of use. We are highly skilled and experienced in advising clients on ways to minimize the risk of potential liability from infringing or defamatory materials that may appear on their websites. In the event our clients fall victim to such materials on other sites, we take appropriate court action or work with local law enforcement to remove the materials quickly and efficiently.
