Intellectual Property Licensing Services

THE WADDEY & PATTERSON DIFFERENCE

Many times the “how” something is being transferred is as important as to “what” is being transferred. We work with our clients to understand the business goals behind any transaction. We then look to determine the “what” that is being transferred to determine if that what can be transferred. We then work with the client advising them the “how” that best achieves the client’s business goals. This may consist of an exclusive or a non-exclusive license, a limited use license, an assignment, etc.

Many times, the business persons and corporate counsel involved in a transaction are mainly concerned about things such as stock, inventory, and real estate. We have had many instances in which clients have contacted us after a transaction to determine what IP was transferred to them.

Transactional advice and assistance related to the licensing of intellectual property is a regular part of the firm's practice. Waddey & Patterson offers assistance in negotiating the transfer and licensing of copyright, trademark and patent interests and the right to market products based on the terms of such arrangements.

CASE STUDY :: HOW W&P ADDS VALUE

A client came to us needing a software license. We worked with the client to determine what its end users required regarding access. We works out an internet based program of licensing the software so that its code never had to be made available except by the web based system which made maintenance and control much easier.
