Service: Licensing & Agreements
Written, binding agreements are an integral part of doing business. Effective and strategic IP transaction and agreement counseling requires attorneys with technological, legal, and business experience. The strategic use of agreements can help businesses expand and leverage their IP portfolios and are critical in resolving disputes or, preferably, avoiding them altogether.
Clarifying the scope of rights, issues of ownership, and terms of use of intellectual property assets is critical in protecting a company's IP. From basic IP licensing transactions to multifaceted strategic partnerships, the attorneys at COJK draft, interpret, and negotiate sophisticated, intricate agreements that allow designated people or groups to garner strong returns on IP assets.

We consider the big picture, the small details, and the long-term consequences of the relationship.
