Technology, Data & Commercial IP
Technology licensing, IP ownership, data and software agreements for companies whose value lives in what they build, design or collect.
For many companies, the most valuable asset is something they made: software, content, designs, data or a brand. Whether the company actually owns it depends on employment agreements, contractor terms, licenses and client contracts that are often signed without much thought.
We help companies secure ownership of what they create and license it on terms that protect its value.
What we handle
- IP assignment from founders, employees and contractors
- Software, SaaS and technology licensing
- Data use, data sharing and privacy terms in commercial agreements
- Contract terms covering AI tools and AI-generated work
- Open-source and third-party component review
- IP diligence for financings and acquisitions
How we work
We focus on ownership, licensing and risk allocation in the commercial context. Where a matter calls for patent prosecution or trademark registration, we coordinate with counsel who concentrate in those areas.
