Licensing and Transactions

  Morgan & Finnegan offers clients the benefit of our extensive experience in negotiating and structuring profitable licensing and corporate transactions. Successful mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships and licensing deals require a thorough understanding of IP issues at play, commercial potential, and potential liabilities and value within a particular business landscape. We offer meaningful advice regarding the value of IP assets, and have the know-how to effectively manage all manner of deals involving licensing and transactions, including helping clients structure funding, drafting and negotiating licensing agreements, conducting due diligence and offering timely advice before and during negotiations. We also provide strong risk management advice regarding disputes on IP assets that arise from corporate transactions.

Licensing takes many forms, and Morgan & Finnegan works with clients to design brand and media licensing programs, patent and technology transfer ventures, and software and data licensing agreements. Many patents exist simply as vehicles for revenue, and strategic licensing agreements give companies the opportunity to maximize the value of IP assets. Other licensing ventures are the beginnings of long-range strategic partnerships or the prelude to positioning a company for a merger or acquisition. Our attorneys identify opportunities available to clients and look at long-term implications of licensing options and agreements from multiple perspectives.

Morgan & Finnegan attorneys are experienced in the licensing of copyrights, ensuring that clients reap the maximum benefit from their IP assets, or through the licensing of those assets to other companies. We regularly negotiate and draft copyright licenses for companies in such fields as consumer products, electronics, chemicals, medical devices, pharmaceuticals and software.
