We are often asked by both our individual and business clients to assist in identifying and protecting their important intellectual properties. Sometimes, the next step in the process may be to develop one or more strategies for licensing, selling, or otherwise profiting from those intellectual properties.
Many companies find that, by identifying and protecting their intellectual properties at early stages of development, competitive advantages can be maintained, liabilities can be avoided, and shareholder returns on investment can be maximized. In fact, many companies have found it profitable to develop active portfolios of intellectual properties that can be licensed to other companies and organizations. Additional information relevant to our corporate clients may be found by clicking here.
Similarly, individual clients sometimes desire to profit from their developments by licensing or selling those developments to larger organizations who can better exploit those developments for the benefit (and profit) of all involved.
Regardless of whether you are an individual seeking to profit from your inventions or developments, or whether you represent a business seeking to protect and profit from the intellectual properties owned by the business, we are happy to assist in developing and implementing effective legal strategies to aid in achieving your goals.
We can assist in transfer, licensing, and cross-licensing transactions for intellectual properties within and across private, academic, and government sectors. We can also assist in the legal aspects of license compliance and enforcement.
From the outright sale of an intellectual property to the licensing of a property, we can offer solid legal advice, and assist in effectuating your important transactions. In fact, we regularly draft and negotiate legal instruments such as exclusive licenses, non-exclusive licenses, limited exclusive licenses, option agreements, joint venture technology agreements, cross-license agreements, private label manufacturing agreements, and many others.
Please call upon us if we may be of assistance!
