IP Licensing & Transactions
IP Licensing
An Understanding of Technology & Business IP Licensing
We evaluate business strength of technologies through market segmentation and detailed analyses of relevant systems, products and employed methodologies. We employ the services of leading experts in the relevant technologies as well as experts in damages. In the high technology area, representative industries include electronics, telecommunications, Internet, computer hardware and software, financial services, alternative energy, augmented & virtual reality, robotics & autonomous systems, semiconductors, and optical systems. In the consumer space we license tech for consumer products, housewares, exercise equipment, wearables, IoT and Mobile systems. In the sciences, representative industries include biotechnology, medical devices and pharmaceuticals.
An Understanding of the Law
We mine patent portfolios to assess and evaluate the legal strength of patented technologies. In this regard, we evaluate patent claims in view of the relevant prior art, patent prosecution histories and relevant case law. Our in-depth analyses are performed by seasoned attorneys well versed in not only the law, but negotiation techniques, international licensing, arbitration, mediation, pre-trial and trial litigation, as well as appellate level litigation and settlement talks.
Strategic Licensing Advice and Counsel
We also render strategic assessments based on positioning, delivered by leading licensing and litigation counsel. For clients confronted by licensors, we perform risk assessment to national and international sales, defensive techniques including patent portfolio acquisitions, prior art analyses, invalidation assessments, reexamination advice, indemnifications based on down-stream or up-stream sales relationships, defensive litigation techniques and other economic and legal pressures that may be brought to bear. For clients seeking to license their portfolios, we bring thoughtful forum selection, technology, business and legal strength reviews, and expertise in arbitration, mediation, licensing negotiations and litigation enforcement techniques.
IP Transactions
Our attorneys have represented companies in the fields of semiconductor technology, molecular genetics, information technology, life sciences, software, telecommunications, healthcare, computer gaming, sports, and media, among others. The key to our success is combining maintaining a vast knowledge of our clients’ core businesses coupled with legal know-how.
Our close collaboration with clients permits premium service in procurement, strategizing, commercialization, and co-branding of IP. We work closely with our clients to counsel them in their strategic intellectual property (IP) transactions, the commercialization of their IP, the procurement of technology, data or tools, and manufacturing and business process outsourcing.
