We focus on the complexities and challenges of our clients’ changing business environments. Our IP lawyer can help clients craft creative solutions to the evolving issues they face. One such situation is when two parties are each contributing intellectual property to a venture or product. The ownership rights need to be spelled out in the beginning in a written agreement. Otherwise, the dispute over who owns future intellectual property rights, such as patent improvements, could result in lengthy litigation. In addition, the ownership rights or continued use of the intellectual property during such litigation process could be uncertain.
Time spent at the beginning of the venture can provide a clear path to enjoying both your current and future IPR.
