Licensing

Ober|Kaler’s intellectual property lawyers have extensive experience in drafting and negotiating license agreements for the in-licensing, out-licensing and cross-licensing of a wide range of intellectual property rights.

This experience allows our lawyers to craft and negotiate specialized license agreements that conform to the specific needs of our clients, such as hybrid license agreements involving multiple categories of intellectual property and cloud-computing (e.g., SaaS) agreements.
