By understanding our clients’ long-term objectives and product plans, our team advises clients on strategies for building and maintaining a cost-effective, valuable IP portfolio. Because of this prowess, clients turn to us for guidance when developing new technology, when selling assets, and in connection with mergers and acquisitions.    

What We Do

As organizations grow and innovate, our team helps management implement the programs necessary to identify, capture, and protect valuable designs and innovations. We also help clients establish a brand management strategy to distinguish their products and services in the marketplace, through IP prosecution and active management of advertising campaigns, and online presence. We help clients monitor technologies and competitors to evaluate risks and prepare for future activities in today’s competitive environment. 

We assist our clients with IP licensing, a common practice that can convey benefits for both the owner and the licensee of the asset. Our attorneys help draft intellectual property licensing agreements and other commercial agreements that enable owners to monetize their IP assets.  

In these agreements, the details matter, and our attorneys pay careful attention to every detail. They draft and negotiate agreements covering patented technology, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. They also help businesses in the development stage in-license technology from incubator facilities, universities and research institutions, and other strategic partners.
