Licensing

The Noblitt Group brings sophisticated business and technology expertise to licensing matters.  For many clients, a license may be the key document determining their ability to market critical intellectual property – whether patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets or a combination of these rights.  A license may also be important for establishing the distribution of rights in subsequent infringement disputes.

Our attorneys have considerable experience in negotiating and drafting license agreements for all types of intellectual property.  We have drafted patent, trade secret and trademark agreements for use in international marketing arrangements.   We also provide our clients extensive consulting services for the evaluation of licensing agreements drafted by counter parties.

Compliance with the export control licensing requirements of the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) of the Department of Commerce has become increasingly important to both U.S. and foreign corporations.  Our firm is experienced and adept in advising clients on compliance issues and with providing the necessary documentation to avoid potential pitfalls.  We are pleased to facilitate this complex process for our clients and to provide them with the peace of mind that comes with our trusted experience.

We would be happy to discuss other features and more specific details of our licensing practice at your request.
