Intellectual property forms the heart of technology licensing.
Without preservation and protection of a company's intellectual property assets, a company has no bargaining chips for use in negotiating licences in the marketplace. Due to the international scope of intellectual property, we also help clients protect their rights in other countries through a worldwide network of associates. Our Intellectual Property Group works for clients to protect such diverse subject matter as software related inventions, film and television rights, semiconductor designs, polymers, cartoon characters, biotechnology, Canadian champagne, and indications of origin. We act for major motion picture companies and music publishing companies in copyright matters. The Firm's clients also include the major copyright collective administering retransmission rights royalties and two specialty service cable TV networks.
