In today's economy, intellectual property - trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, software or any of your proprietary ideas - is often a company's most valuable asset. At Boult Cummings, we have the expertise to assist you in identifying, protecting and exploiting your intellectual property. From simple trademark and copyright registrations to complex multi-million dollar technology transfer agreements, our attorneys guide clients through this highly technical area of the law and help them find practical, effective solutions to their business needs. With years of experience representing parties on both sides of technology and intellectual property transactions, we can fully prepare clients for any issues likely to arise. This experience recently earned Boult Cummings the distinction of being named a Go-To Law Firm® for Leading Technology Companies by ALM, a leading integrated media company focused on the legal and business communities.
We have wide experience assisting clients with "traditional" intellectual property issues, such as trademarks, copyrights and patents, and more recent innovations relative to the Internet. Our attorneys help clients realize the value of their intellectual property through licensing arrangements, assignments, securitization, outright sales and other transactions. We understand the complex issues surrounding security interests in intellectual property, and work with lenders and borrowers to leverage these intangible assets.
Our lawyers have advised clients on intellectual property and technology matters ranging from the routine (federal and state trademark registrations, nondisclosure agreements, copyright notice requirements, etc.) to the intricate (multi-million dollar software licensing transactions, complex online co-branding and strategic alliance agreements, open source software compliance issues, etc.) to the extraordinary (responding to cybersquatters in Vanuatu). We not only have broad experience, we also stay on top of current developments to help you manage new challenges.
