Intellectual property (IP) is a valuable asset encompassing inventions, creative works, and distinctive designs. Businesses often require access to IP of third-parties to achieve their goals. We assist in obtaining rights for using third-party IP and securing these rights through two main avenues: purchase and licensing.

Who might need it?

  • Start-ups. Acquiring licenses to established IP can accelerate product development and market entry.
  • Established Businesses. Expanding product lines or entering new markets may require acquiring rights to complementary IP.
  • Manufacturing Companies. Licensing essential patents can be crucial for production.
  • Technology Companies. Acquiring patents or software licenses can be vital for innovation and growth.

How we can help?

1. Purchase

If the business needs to control IP completely and wants to make a deal with an IP holder, we can guide through the entire acquisition process, including:

  • Negotiation. Drafting and negotiating contract (so-called “alienation agreements”) that protect your interests.
  • Due Diligence. Conducting thorough due diligence to uncover any potential issues with the IP (such as a risk that seller has no right to the IP of your interest).
  • Closing. Ensuring a smooth and secure transfer of ownership, helping to prepare all closing documents and to communicate with state authorities if it is needed.

2. Licensing

If the business needs to use IP in a limited way, we help to obtain licenses for third-party IP, including:

  • Drafting and negotiating agreements that grant you the specific ways to use the IP required for business goals.
  • Scope Definition. Clearly defining the scope of the license, including permitted uses, territories, and duration.
  • Royalty Structures. Structuring royalty payments that are clear and fair for business, considering tax implications applicable.
