Nyemaster Goode, P.C.

Our Practice:

Licensing of intellectual property rights between the owner of the rights and the party wanting to purchase use of the rights is often a logical and profitable arrangement for both parties. Nyemaster Goode’s attorneys have extensive experience in negotiating and drafting a wide range of intellectual property license agreements including simple licensing agreements, complex joint ventures, corporate partnerships and strategic alliances for a limited purpose. We counsel clients on all the features that make up a license, including defining the subject licensed, weighing the appropriate consideration for the license, evaluating the competitive and business environment presented by exclusivity and planning for cases of license termination. Our attorneys work with clients to extract value from their intellectual property and obtain appropriate rights in cases where the intellectual property is owned by others.
