“Blank Rome provides a holistic offering that allows the team to act on an array of litigation, transactional, and prosecution matters across the spectrum of IP rights and technologies.”

core/paragraph

core/quote

Businesses are often both licensors and licensees of technology. Bringing intellectual property to market can be quite challenging and presents a number of risks based on the product or service being commercialized or licensed. It is critical to have counsel who has successfully worked on both sides of the arrangement. &nbsp;

Our intellectual property attorneys draft and negotiate a wide range of licenses and agreements tailored to each client's&nbsp;needs. Our goal is to ensure that the IP rights of the owner are protected, while also ensuring licensees have all rights that are necessary to enjoy the IP asset. In the hotbed of software and technology, we also handle licensing and other contracts covering hosting, maintenance, data, computer systems, hardware and networks, as well as telecommunications services, cloud services, data processing, disaster recovery, information technology services, and much more.

Commerce and intellectual property take many forms in addition to cutting-edge technology and software, and so our work also includes outsourcing, OEM, VAR, resale, private-label, supply, and many other sourcing and distribution agreements and models.&nbsp;

Beyond the sophisticated agreements described above, we regularly work with our corporate group on technology acquisitions and other related transactions, applying our hands-on experience to evaluate and counsel clients on targets and transactions.
