Licensing, Opinions and Portfolio Management
Intellectual property, like most property, is freely transferable. The owner of a patent, trademark, copyright or trade secret may grant a limited or absolute right to make, use or sell an item protected by its intellectual property. Many of our clients enter into licensing agreements with collaborators, or even competitors, to maximize the value of their intellectual property portfolios.
The licensing of intellectual property requires specialized knowledge. The attorneys at RENNER OTTO have diverse backgrounds and extensive experience handling all types of intellectual property licensing transactions across a broad range of technological areas.
RENNER OTTO'S attorneys regularly provide clients with legal opinions regarding the potential infringement of existing patents. These opinions are often vital when determining the potential liability that may be incurred bringing a proposed product to market. RENNER OTTO also provides opinions on infringement for clients seeking to protect their intellectual property rights or who have been accused of infringing the intellectual property rights of others.
Patent attorneys who are also skilled litigators often prepare these opinions. As the author of patent validity and infringement opinions, our attorneys have been called upon numerous times to testify as expert witnesses during patent infringement trials. Thus, our clients receive the opinion from an attorney who is a skilled patent attorney and litigator, who is capable of testifying as an expert at trial.
