Intellectual property rights

The value of intellectual property (IP) in business has been rising in recent years. We provide traditional legal services such as negotiating IP-related agreements and sophisticated business advice on the legal issues that arise in connection with M&A transactions and the commercialisation of IP assets from various aspects.

IP owners have become keen about the value of their IP assets in recent years. They encounter legal and commercial issues that arise in IP-related transactions, including M&A transactions, licensing, joint ventures and distribution deals. They need legal and business advice on the complicated issues involving their IP assets. Our team negotiates agreements and provides sophisticated and practical advice on legal and commercial issues that arise in complex IP-related transactions for a wide range of industries such as technology, entertainment and life science. We lead our clients with a team of lawyers, which may include those who understand how tax affects the IP-related transactions or what should be examined and evaluated in IP finance. We counsel companies on IP-related matters from a wider viewpoint.
