Developing Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property (IP) lawyers have substantial experience dealing with intellectual property matters (excluding patent filings) for Silicon Valley startup companies and other businesses alike. It is very important that startup companies handle their intellectual property issues carefully at inception. Moreover, startups and other businesses alike need to be diligent to protect their trademark, service mark, copyright, trade secret, and similar intellectual property rights. Sound IP development agreements are very important in meeting this goal of protecting intellectual property. If you will be doing business in the San Jose, Silicon Valley, San Francisco Bay Area or anywhere in California, ask our attorneys how we can assist you in protecting your intellectual property or in facilitating your technology development agreements.

Our intellectual property (IP) attorneys are well-versed in negotiating and structuring agreements and arrangements in Silicon Valley and elsewhere for developing intellectual property.

Our lawyers are skilled negotiators in high tech development and have done significant deals involving key technologies.

We advise and prepare documents concerning all kinds of development agreements:

  • R&D for experimental technology
  • prototype development
  • software development
  • semiconductor technology
  • joint developments
  • joint venture technology transfers
  • collaborative research arrangements

We are skilled in negotiating intellectual property rights, rights allocations for newly developed IP, protection of existing IP, milestone issues, delivery and payment issues, project supervision, and the like.

Collaborative development agreements are increasingly important in today’s high tech (and tomorrow’s nanotechnology) environment. We provide expert help to our clients on intellectual property issues, contract issues, and practical industry matters arising in this area.
