Intellectual Property and Strategic Alliances

• Intellectual Property Strategy and Licensing

Our Intellectual Property practice focuses on the strategic development and licensing of our clients’ intellectual property portfolios. We have advised clients on intellectual property issues in a broad range of industries, including hardware, software, e-commerce, biotechnology, entertainment, medical devices and biomedical. Our attorneys provide advice on developing and protecting intellectual property portfolios and strategies to monetize those portfolios. We assist clients in all types of intellectual property transactions, including licensing and assignment of rights. In addition, we work closely with our clients to ensure that their intellectual property rights are protected.

• Strategic Alliances and Joint Ventures

Our Strategic Alliances and Joint Ventures practice focuses on developing collaborations between our clients and their industry partners. We assist clients in evaluating the intellectual property, control, tax and other issues and risks involved in developing joint ventures. Our attorneys understand how important these arrangements can be to fledgling companies in the early stages of their development. Often, these agreements form the basis of the company’s product offering and are of utmost importance to the success of the company. We work closely with licensees to ensure that their rights to intellectual property are expansive enough to allow them to monetize their investment in the technology. We also work with the developers of such intellectual property to ensure that their rights are protected.
