From start-up to FORTUNE 100 companies, technology has become a principal focus of today’s business transactions. Whether technology is at the center of a transaction or represents a significant component, intellectual property rights become an essential piece of the puzzle and are often one of the most negotiated elements.
Potomac Technology Law + Policy can provide comprehensive services to assist your organization with such technology-focused transactions and licensing.
We have the technical knowledge and experience necessary to understand the role of technology in a company transaction, and extensive hands-on legal and business expertise required to ensure that your company’s IP assets are protected.
We can provide business and legal counseling for a wide variety of technology-related transactions to help your company realize maximum value for its IP assets, such as preparing and negotiating:
- Contract documents for technology-related business transactions (e.g., product and service sales, procurement transactions, and software licensing);
- IP license agreements; and
- Technology and IP transfer agreements.
We also have extensive expertise in international standards body participation and associated IP licensing. We can assist you in working with standards-setting organizations to leverage your company’s technology for broad industry adoption and licensing revenue, and to protect your company from inadvertently exposing core technology and IP assets to standards body mandatory licensing requirements.
