Technology & Intellectual Property

Our Technology and Intellectual Property Practice Group focuses on the strategic development and licensing of our clients' intellectual property portfolios in a variety of industries, with particular emphasis on information technology, software, telecommunications and life sciences.

We represent a diverse group of successful businesses and individuals, including start-up and emerging companies, national and multinational corporations, Internet ventures and brick-and-mortar companies, venture capitalists, and investment bankers. These clients come to us with all manner of complex legal challenges which require the firm to provide strategic counseling, build intellectual property portfolios, license and/or acquire intellectual property to generate royalty income and obtain access to technology.

We aid our clients in formulating effective intellectual property development and protection strategies by advising them on the complex overlapping coverage available to them under patents, copyrights and trade secrets. We also design and implement well-planned, worldwide intellectual property strategies.
