Intellectual Property

Liability and damages analyses in intellectual property litigation, and valuation

Technology Transfer Terms

We evaluate the right level of compensation for companies considering the licensing and/or sale of their intellectual property.

To determine appropriate compensation, we conduct industry pricing analyses, and assess various transfer terms, including:

  • Appropriate amount of lump sum royalties
  • Benchmark payments
  • Minimum royalties
  • Guaranteed royalties
  • Royalty rates

We analyze the value of intellectual property on behalf of either the patent holder or potential purchasers of the technology.

NOTEWORTHY

Managing Principal Carla Mulhern and Vice President John Browning discuss the twin issues of overlapping patent rights and opportunity for hold-up that characterize technology licensing in the presence of industry standards.
