As experienced software license attorneys, we guide clients through all aspects of the development and licensing process, discuss the monetization possibilities, and assist in protecting intellection property through registration and other methods, as well as in transaction agreements.

Our Representation of Software Licensees

We assist software licensees in the contracting process through negotiation and review of the proposed license agreement.  Specific areas of focus often include the scope and use of the license, payment terms, indemnification, issues concerning license seats, and, in some cases, improvements that may be made to the technology by licensees.
