Intellectual Property Counseling and Technology Transactions

The Firm’s intellectual property lawyers have extensive experience in the protection and exploitation of clients’ intellectual property.  Our attorneys work closely with clients to develop strategies to ensure the best protection and value for patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, both domestically and internationally. This includes development and management of IP portfolios, strategic counseling and due diligence on a variety of transactions, such as licensing, sales, and acquisition of IP rights, and aggressive IP policing and freedom to operate evaluations.  We also provide patentability analysis, opinions on infringement and invalidity issues, and assistance with reexamination and reissue proceedings.

Most recently, our attorneys assisted a number of preeminent research institutes and universities in negotiation and drafting of out-bound IP licenses to some of the world’s largest technology companies.
