Licensing

The licensing of intellectual property (IP) allows an owner to maximize the value of IP through strategic partnerships. Lanier Ford’s IP attorneys have negotiated and drafted complex licensing agreements for patents, trademarks, copyrights, software, trade secrets, ornamental designs, personality, songs and music, recorded performances, movies, books, other literary works, and architectural works.
