Agreements

Intellectual property, like other kinds of property, can be sold or licensed. Addressing ownership and control of intellectual property rights can be a key aspect of collaborations at all stages, from initial evaluation, through research and development, to commercial manufacture and distribution. 

The firm can help with drafting, negotiating, and enforcing all types of intellectual property-related agreements, such as licenses, joint research and development agreements, contract research agreements, manufacture and supply agreements, employment and consulting agreements, confidentiality agreements, material transfer agreements, and so on. We have extensive experience in drafting and negotiating intellectual property-related agreements, and Tom Hoxie has testified as an expert witness on intellectual property agreements at trials in the US and the UK. The firm also offers an online agreement request module to facilitate efficient handling of routine agreements.
