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 draft agreements, negotiations, and strategic counsel to help clients leverage their own technologies. We have also helped clients structure efficient and effective agreements to obtain rights in new technologies from outside sources.
Technology Transfers
We also help clients structure efficient and effective agreements to obtain rights in new technologies from outside sources. Technology transfers and other grants of intellectual property rights can be extraordinarily complex, requiring a body of expertise ranging from due diligence investigations to the drafting of the transfer agreements. Our transaction lawyers know how to structure technology transfers in a manner that maximizes the benefits for our clients while limiting future liabilities after the deal closes.
Our team of transaction attorneys brings a level of business and technical experience that is unmatched in today’s marketplace. We work alongside our clients at every stage of the process—as they work with suppliers, co-developers, and customers—protecting their rights with our thorough knowledge of the law, the technology, and the business.
