We help companies acquire, develop, license and exploit software rights, as well as protect the intellectual property of their software code and designs through copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret protection. We know software from concept through implementation and no one is better equipped to help companies address the legal and business issues at stake in software development and use.

We have experience working with all the players in the software industry, including licensors, licensees, developers, OEMs, distributors, VARS and ASP providers. Our attorneys are experienced in all of the intricacies and complexities of software transactions and can advise and represent our clients to their greatest benefit.
