Technology Transactions & Licensing

Navigating the crossroads of business and intellectual property law requires the ability to extract and maximize IP value through thoughtful, innovative solutions.

Miles & Stockbridge helps clients across industries and technologies leverage their global IP assets into top-line revenue growth.  Our Technology Transactions & Licensing Practice Group represent clients ranging from entrepreneurial start-ups to Fortune 500 industry leaders in straightforward and complex multi-party transactions, both domestically and internationally.

We negotiate transactions for buyers and sellers, licensors and licensees, and manufacturers and distributors, promoting proactive engagement to ensure that a deal conforms to a client’s intellectual asset management strategy. We advise on the appropriate structure to minimize regulatory and antitrust complications, reduce patent or trademark application issues, and maximize tax efficiency. We also provide guidance on confidentiality and trade secret matters, and evaluate the use of IP portfolios to shelter investments in products and markets so that clients can be protected from unintended consequences or the effects of business changes.
