Getting Started

Our Corporate, Technology Licensing, Intellectual Property, Business Formation, and Mergers & Acquisitions Practice Areas will advise in all manner of software transactions, including the acquisition, development, and licensing of your software.

Protect Your Assets

Protecting the intellectual property rights in your software through copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret protection is vital to your success. 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.

Our attorneys have established relationships with escrow houses and are familiar with their standard contracts, and types of escrow arrangements. We work with our clients to ensure the best arrangement for their needs and situation.

We have extensive experience working with all the players in the industry, including licensors, licensees, developers, OEMs, distributors, VARS and ASP providers.
