Licencing and IP Litigation

IP LICENSING. Patents, trademarks, or other forms of IP assets, can be licensed by their owners for a licensing fee. Licenses can be limited or unlimited, for example by time and geography, and can be also exclusive or non-exclusive. We assist our clients with negotiating licensing deals, once our clients find an interested licensee, or, when they want to license someone else's IP. We assist our clients also with drafting the licensing agreements, to ensure our clients' rights are protected.

IP PRE-LITIGATION and SETTLEMENT. Before we go to Court, we try to settle our clients' IP disputes out-of-court. It is an efficient way to resolve our clients' IP matters, such as when our clients are accused of patent or trademark infringement, or when our clients need to enforce their IP rights that are infringed by others. We send cease-and-desist letters on behalf of our clients, we defend our clients when they receive one, we negotiate settlement or licensing terms and we draft or revise settlement or licensing agreements for our clients.

IP LITIGATION. When disputes can't be settled in the pre-litigation phase, we represent clients in Federal Court to litigate patent, trademark or other IP matters there, including going to trial if needed. We do that when our clients need to enforce their IP rights or when they need to defend themselves against allegations of IP infringement. We do not hesitate to file lawsuits in federal court or step in and defend our clients when they are sued in federal court for patent, trademark or other IP matters. And, we have experience doing so.
