Licensing

We help clients identify and assess the options available to them to maximize the strategic value of their intellectual property, including managing their intellectual property portfolios to maximize returns by providing strategic assessments, brokering asset licenses and transfers, and accessing investment and funding sources.

Our team of valuation experts will value your technology using a multi-analysis approach (e.g., DCF, replacement rate, option value, etc.) and determine an appropriate, defensible commercial/economic structure (e.g., specific rate vs. profit share, single rate vs. tiered, upfront payment, timing of payments, etc.).

We provide clients with deal structuring options for consideration, drawing out implications for IP rights and value. We will draft the IP licensing contractual language, detailing which entities have access to the IP in what capacity and for how long, any changes to the arrangement over time, how governance of the IP works, and the economic terms associated with the license (e.g., royalty rate, profit split, cost sharing, etc.).

Our qualified experts collaborate with counsel and senior management to develop appropriate litigation strategies in patent infringement, trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation, copyright infringement, false ad­vertising, and unfair competition matters. We implement efficient strategies for evaluating potential damages or exposure.

We help intellectual property own­ers recover millions of dollars in asserted rights relating to their copyrights, trademarks, and patents licensed to third parties. Our professionals specialize in performing royalty compliance reviews for in­tellectual property owners. We develop and implement royalty compliance programs and perform a review of the royalties paid by publishers and other licensees around the world and undertake an extensive analysis of clients’ royalty payments, interact with the licensee on our clients’ behalf, obtain detailed accounting records used to generate royalties, and calculate the amount of any underpayment.
