| Our attorneys
are skilled in negotiating and drafting all types of agreements
relating to intellectual property. The most common type of agreement
relates to the licensing of intellectual property rights. Licensing
agreements range from high technology -- protected by patents
and trade secrets law (and copyrights, in the case of computer
software) -- to cartoon characters, protected by copyrights, to
famous trademarks, protected by trademark registrations as well
as the common law. We are also proficient in structuring franchising
licenses which are a very precise type of licensing arrangement.
Other types
of intellectual property agreements with which the Firm has experience
include: (i) joint technology and product development agreements;
(ii) beta test site agreements for the evaluation of new technology
and/or products; (iii) agreements with experts for technological
consulting services; and (iv) confidential disclosure agreements
which enable inventions, inventive concepts and confidential information
to be disclosed by one party to another, to protect the disclosing
party and yet not unreasonably restrain the receiving party in
its future research and product development activities.
