Licensing & Strategic Alliances

In the constantly evolving field of intercompany relationships, businesses seek to focus on their core competencies and outsource other necessary activities. Morse, Barnes-Brown & Pendleton has many years of experience negotiating and drafting all types of agreements used in defining the rights and obligations of the parties, including the following...

Technology & IP Licensing

• Software development and license agreements
• Licensing of patents and other intellectual property
• Copyright and content licensing
• The licensing and transfer of trademarks and domain names

Intercompany Arrangements

• Joint ventures and corporate partnering and teaming agreements
• Manufacturing and supply agreements
• Hardware purchase agreements and equipment leases
• System acquisition and integration contracts
• Distribution, OEM, VAR and sales representative agreements
• Outsourcing, facilities management, SaaS and service bureau agreements
• Database publisher and subscriber arrangements

Clients need attorneys who know their business, technology and objectives, who understand the problems that can arise after the deal is signed, and who have the experience to adapt the available legal structures to the business needs of each transaction. We have years of experience documenting and negotiating the complex transactions and contracts related to the development and exploitation of valuable intellectual property assets, and we know how to develop standard business agreements that function as business tools rather than obstacles.
