Licensing

The use of licensing to exploit intellectual property rights is an extremely important aspect of strategic asset management. Our lawyers have the knowledge and skills necessary to maximize the return on intellectual property rights, including tax considerations, while ensuring that the licensing transaction does not violate the antitrust and unfair competition laws or render the intellectual property rights unenforceable. Members of our intellectual property practice are technically trained and are aware of common licensing practices in particular industries, as well as understand the pitfalls and traps, to enable transactions to be completed rapidly and correctly.
