The licensing of patent, trademark, copyright, and know-how assets highlights our firm's strong emphasis on obtaining commercial value from intellectual property.  We are distinguished from other firms in crafting licensing documents that combine the real world commercial impact of a license with our understanding of the legal ramifications of the license.  We understand our clients' specific goals including the likely problematic areas and develop specific strategies to achieve a coordinated approach that has repeatedly proven successful.  We have developed innovative licensing strategies in all intellectual property disciplines.  These successes have been achieved through our intimate knowledge of negotiating tactics and contract drafting.  Our clients consistently consult us in their U.S. and international activities.  To this end, we have successfully advocated for our clients in defense against international licensing assertion programs and, alternatively, have successfully implemented licensing assertion programs throughout the world.  We are also skilled at negotiating licenses with and representing our clients before licensing standards bodies.
