Successful technology collaborations bring together ideas, expertise, intellectual property, data, capital, and commercial opportunities. They also require careful planning to ensure each party understands what it contributes, what it owns, and how the resulting technology may be used and commercialized. Peck Baxter advises technology companies, businesses, developers, investors, and research partners in structuring and negotiating sophisticated collaborative arrangements.

Our attorneys assist with joint development agreements, strategic technology alliances, software and platform integrations, co-development and commercialization arrangements, licensing relationships, research collaborations, data-sharing agreements, and other technology partnerships. We advise on intellectual property ownership, background and newly developed IP, licensing and use rights, development responsibilities, funding, confidentiality, data rights, commercialization, revenue sharing, governance, exclusivity, and termination and exit rights.

Peck Baxter combines experience in technology, intellectual property, corporate transactions, and complex commercial disputes to anticipate issues that can arise throughout a collaboration. We develop practical agreements that protect existing assets, clearly define rights in newly created technology, and provide a framework that allows innovative partnerships to grow and evolve.
