IP Commercialization

​Once our Clients create and protect their valuable IP, we help them in all stages along their path of Commercializing that IP for Success! 
We believe that a successful company is built on a strong portfolio of contracts – where value is determined in large measure by how efficiently and effectively contracts are managed as a critical component of the business.  We have identified over 20 different types of IP agreements that a company must address during its IP Commercialization Life-cycle.  We differentiate ourselves from other lawyers by the enhanced and focused level of business knowledge and legal experience we bring to each project – we do not believe IP transactions are just like every other type of business deal; but instead, are ones that require expertise, experience and an industry understanding gained from drafting, negotiating and closing thousands of IP transactions. 
​Because most of our work is done on a Fixed Fee or Not to Exceed basis, we are able to really dig in to understand our Client’s needs, interests and objectives for each project we undertake, without our Client having to pay for us to “get up to speed.”  
We guide our clients through the entire lifecycle of commercializing their IP, from simple NDAs to  licensing  templates to complex transactions.  We believe that a successful company is built on a strong portfolio of contracts – where value is determined in large measure by how efficiently and effectively contracts are managed as a critical component of the company.  We have identified over 20 different types of IP agreements that a company must address during its growth lifecycle and we help our clients in all stages along their path to success.  ​
