Patent Licensing
We are highly experienced licensing professionals who have negotiated all types of agreements, including acquisition and sales of patent assets, exclusive and nonexclusive licensing, joint venture agreements, M&As, and business unit spin-offs, on both sides of the table and are intimately familiar with what motivates the licensor and the licensee.
We have deep experience in the telecommunications, wireless, display, semiconductors and IoT
industries and have keen appreciation for the complex nature of SEP licensing. For every transaction matter, we will take time to understand your business goals and interests and
work with you to develop negotiation/licensing strategies that meet your business objectives and reflect the reality of the market place. We will conduct negotiation with the other side or act as behind-the-scenes counselor should you wish to conduct the negotiation yourself.
In addition, we offer a retainer arrangement to be your “on-demand” advisor on all licensing matters.
Technology/Commercial Agreements
In today’s IP centric world, many types of technology and commercial agreements, be it joint
development agreements, purchase/supply agreement, or trial agreements, are often held up because of IP provisions and related indemnity provisions. As former litigator and inhouse counsel, we have lots of experience negotiating these issues and will help you navigate them. We can assess IP and litigation risk assessment of a particular provision, as well as drafting and negotiating the underlying agreement.
Technology Litigation Support
We are not a litigation firm. Because of our extensive litigation experience as both outside counsel and inhouse counsel in some of the most contentious technology litigation, however, we can help you select and manage outside litigation counsel. We bring to table both litigation experience and business perspective. We have your business objectives in mind, not litigation for the sake of litigation, and will help you formulate litigation strategy that will meet your business interests and objectives, be it a complete vindication or efficient settlement.
We will help you manage the litigation budget, assess the risk at different stages of the litigation and be the interface between you and the outside counsel.
