Licensing & Technology Transfer

At Kenealy Vaidya, we have experience structuring, drafting and negotiating technology based assignments, licenses and other transactions from the perspectives of both the transferring and receiving parties, helping our clients in their commercialization efforts and to otherwise exploit their intellectual property.  Our attorneys’ business and legal experience, as well as their diverse technical backgrounds, enable Kenealy Vaidya to advise clients on many types of transactions involving a wide variety of technologies, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biotechnology, automotive, aerospace, software, electronics, imaging, and semiconductors.

We particularly have experience drafting agreements involving patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets  in the contexts of assignments, licenses, research transactions, strategic collaborations, software shrink-wrap and click-through agreements, as well as other types of transfer arrangements.  We also have experience handling various antitrust issues that may arise and must then be addressed as part of many technology based transactions.  Our attorneys handle other related issues, including the competing goals between private commercialization efforts versus public interests to reach fair and favorable outcomes for our clients.
