The licensing of patents, trademarks, and copyrights holds significant potential for business growth. But without the strategic management of intellectual property, businesses risk leaving revenue streams untapped and missing opportunities to evolve their brands. In a market where nearly every idea has global potential, capitalizing on intellectual property can have a powerful impact on the bottom line.

Akerman helps clients maximize the value of their intellectual property assets through the effective licensing of patents, trademarks, and copyrights across a wide range of sectors, including fashion, sports, music, entertainment, pharmaceutical, healthcare, computer software, nutrition, and consumer products.

We assist companies in successfully growing their brand through licensing agreements that not only protect their intellectual property but also unlock the revenue generating potential of individual assets or complete IP portfolios. Our lawyers have extensive experience in drafting and negotiating a full range of licensing, distribution, and related agreements, including development agreements, joint ventures, manufacturing agreements, collaborative research structuring, technology transfer agreements, confidentiality agreements, and consulting agreements. We also assist clients in determining whether to pursue a potential transaction by assessing the validity and enforceability of the intellectual property rights involved in the transaction.
