Intellectual Property Transactions

I've negotiated hundreds of agreements with a wide variety of companies, small businesses and global entities alike.  I'm pretty efficient, so billing by the hour tends to save my clients money.  

Let me take on the stress of working with an aggressive counterparty to help you close your deal. 

It's a great sign if you're receiving requests to license your technology.  Licensing allows you commercialize your rights by field of use, geography, or jurisdiction, requiring a number of agreements.  There's a lot to consider.  

Let me draft you a licensing template agreement you use . 

Material transfers happen all the time.  Often, many MTAs are needed to develop one technology.  Having a straightforward MTA template will allow for sharing of material while protecting your background IP in the material.  

To build valuable technology, many private conversations have to happen to pull all the pieces together.  Let me draft you a non-disclosure agreement you can reuse to facilitate collaboration while still protecting your rights.  

I've worked for many years in university technology transfer, executing scores of SRAs.  If you're looking to sponsor research at a university, having a template SRA agreement can help establish default positions that favor your company.

If you're working with HIPAA "covered entity" such as a hospital or research laboratory to access clinical data, you're going to need business associate agreement to be federally compliant.  Moreover, within the BAA, you'll need terms that delineate clearly the HIPAA obligations you'll be taking on.

In either case, let me draft a BAA that ensure your HIPAA compliance.

Are you a technology company just hiring your first employees?  Employee invention assignment is a critical piece to your overall IP portfolio management.  Moreover, having an executed confidentiality agreement in place can help protect patent and trade secret rights.

Let me draft you a template CIPPA agreement you can use to secure your portfolio.

Are you a clinician needing to hire support staff?  Or perhaps you're a clinical services company looking to support a clinic?  A clinical support services contract will make clear the delineation of responsibilities between clinic and operations to protect against arrangements that might constitute the corporate practice of medicine. 

Let me help sort out the regulatory issues and give you a template agreement that will give you piece of mind.
