Licensing Practice
Lowry Blixseth attorneys help businesses license their intellectual property, services, and goods.
Scope of Licensing ServicesAt Lowry Blixseth, our attorneys' experience in licensing is broad. We assist businesses in maximizing return on investment through licensing structures for intellectual property, formulas, recipes, services, and goods. We examine the best licensing structures to achieve each client's particular needs. We consider field of use restrictions, grant back licenses, IP and know-how hybrid licenses, source code escrow, and protection of confidential information. Our clients seek licenses in all types of business relationships and industries, with each set of agreements requiring separate analyses regarding ownership, improvements to technology, quality control, and other important factors. Whether your business manufactures goods or provides services, we can help you strategize, negotiate, and close your licensing deals. Related IP planning resourcesBefore negotiating a license, identify the assets, the proposed uses, and the ownership records. Our IP protection comparison can help distinguish the rights involved; the copyright ownership guide addresses commissioned work and permissions. Review trade secrets and confidential information when know-how will be shared. Bring existing agreements and commercial priorities using our consultation preparation guide.
