Virtually all technology companies have opportunities to create value through
technology and trademark licensing.
- Out-licensing creates value and ongoing, diversified revenue streams for unused or underutilized technologies.
- In-licensing is the primary mechanism to access technology to fill
gaps in existing technology portfolios, avoid potential infringement
issues, and expand engineering design freedom.
- Cross-licensing is a common mechanism to avoid potential
infringement-related litigation.
- Valuation of licenses is dependent on deal structure and is a
critical factor in all licensing negotiations.
Alpine
assists clients with licensing in a variety of ways, including
assessing technology position, identifying new or broader fields of
use, and taking the lead in marketing IP and negotiating license
agreements. We may also, in some cases, take on client licensing
assignments on a contingency fee basis.
