Licensing – Ip development & exploitation

With its competitive tax and corporate regime and stable regulatory and business environment, Ireland has been described as Europe’s “Silicon Valley” – becoming the Hub of choice for technology/IP rich multinationals accessing the EU.

The consequent concentration of expertise, ideas and energy has also resulted in an explosion of technology and IP focused and driven individuals and businesses, establishing a real and vibrant knowledge-based economy in Ireland.

We are proud to act for the creators, owners, investors in, and users of, the technology and IP upon which that knowledge economy is built.

Our lawyers regularly advise developing and established domestic and international clients on:

• Trademark, patent (and copyright) registration, protection and exploitation
• Protection of confidential information and trade secrets
• R&D issues and collaboration arrangements
• IP/IT licensing, royalty and assignment arrangements
• Reseller arrangements
• E-commerce
• Website creation and terms & conditions
• Technology transfers
• Outsourcing
• Data protection
• Distribution agency and merchandising agreements
• Franchise arrangements
• IP enforcement

We are proud to act for the creators, owners, investors in, and users of, the technology and IP upon which that knowledge economy is built. Our team advises our clients on the creation, development, exploitation and protection of their intellectual property. We also advise our clients on the use of third-party IP and technology for their own business purposes.

We advise domestic and international clients, including clients in the Fintech Space, on the registration, exploitation and protection of their IP.
