Agreement drafting and negotiation

Beyond procuring protection for their innovations, trademarks, and creative work, Brooks Kushman offers a variety of services to help clients enhance the value of their intellectual property and better manage their rights.

Negotiating licenses, joint ventures and other collaborations

Licenses, partnering transactions, and other strategic alliances that can provide access to resources that might otherwise remain unavailable, can be critical to the growth of many technology firms. Our attorneys have structured and negotiated a wide variety of alliances that have resulted in meaningful new opportunities for our clients.

Structuring licensing arrangements

At Brooks Kushman, we believe that licensing decisions should be made within the context of a consistent strategy designed to maximize the value of the resources devoted to intellectual property development. We frequently provide agreement drafts, negotiation and strategic counsel to help clients leverage their own technologies, and have helped clients structure efficient and effective agreements to obtain rights in new technologies from outside sources.

Implementing technology transfers

Technology transfers and other assignments of intellectual property rights can be extraordinarily complex, requiring a body of experience ranging from due diligence investigations to the drafting of the assignment agreements. At Brooks Kushman, we know how to structure technology transfers in a manner that ensures that our clients receive all of the contemplated benefits, with all reasonable limitations upon future liabilities. We bring significant knowledge of the technology at issue, expertise in IP law, and an understanding of our client’s industry to each transaction.
