As part of the firm’s transactional practice, intellectual property lawyers routinely deal with intellectual property issues (including patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret issues) in the context of both specific intellectual property transactions and larger business transactions. They have experience negotiating, drafting and analysing technology transfer and licensing agreements and security agreements. As part of that work, they have specific legal experience in hardware and software development and licensing agreements, as well as maintenance and support agreements. They also render advice on corporate and tax issues relating to transactions involving intellectual property.
