Intellectual Property Transactions
Intellectual Property Transaction Services
Marshall, Gerstein & Borun brings depth and sophistication to intellectual property transactions. The intellectual property transactions practice has seasoned transactional lawyers proficient in all areas of intellectual property law, with recognized strengths in prosecution and litigation that contribute to their understanding of the business impact of these assets. Our practice includes those who have been in-house general counsel and technology transfer managers.
This broad perspective enables us to craft comprehensive strategies that maximize the return on intellectual property assets, to understand and proactively address our clients’ internal and external priorities while minimizing unallocated risk, and to plan for changing circumstances, often beyond a client's control, such as patent interferences, oppositions and development lifecycles.
Given the number and variety of transactional matters we handle for clients, our attorneys and licensing specialist are well versed in the customary practices in a diverse range of industries and deal structures. We strive for a collaborative role as a seamless member of our clients’ legal team - drafting deals that reflect business acumen and negotiating agreements in ways that encourage cooperation rather than controversy.
