Technology Licensing
We can guide you through the complex and continually evolving fields of intellectual property rights, contract and competition law which underpin every technology licensing deal.
Technology Licensing
Generating innovative ideas is central to success in today’s knowledge economy, but of equal importance is the ability to be able to develop those ideas into a marketable product. Many businesses choose not to do this themselves but to partner with other organisations better placed to develop these ideas and bring them to market by licensing the technology to them.
Due to the investment required in developing innovative technologies licensing deals are, by their nature, often long term and high value/high risk. In this context getting the legal agreement right for both parties is vital.
We have wide experience of advising on the licensing of many different types of technology including in the field of pharmaceuticals, textiles, construction and software and of the different types of intellectual property involved, including patents, know how, trade marks, copyright, designs rights, registered designs and database rights.
As a result of our experience we can guide you through the complex and continually evolving fields of intellectual property rights, contract and competition law which underpin every technology licensing deal. We also make sure that we understand the wider commercial aims behind the deal and ensure that your agreement facilitates the achievement of these aims including, where relevant, advice on the most tax efficient structure.
If things do go wrong and, inevitably sometimes they will, you can be confident that we can help you deal with the fallout in the best way and help resolve your issues efficiently and without too much stress.
