The UK Life Sciences Sector in an Election Year
We work with clients to protect, manage, and monetise assets
Our commercial intellectual property team advises clients on a wide range of intellectual property matters, including the drafting and negotiation of intellectual property licences and assignments, along with collaboration, agency, distribution, franchising, sponsorship, white label, and research and development agreements. We also work with clients in developing first-class commercialisation and monetisation strategies, and increasing operational efficiencies. Furthermore, we advise on competition law implications, the licensing of commercially valuable data and on technology transfer and know-how arrangements.
We work closely with our corporate practice to advise on the intellectual property aspects of M&A transactions, including due diligence on patent and trademark portfolios (including the freedom to operate), verification and transmission of title, advising on warranties and reviewing sale documentation, preparing licence and assignment documents, attending to post-settlement transfer and registration issues.
For life sciences organisations, we advise on IP licensing, research collaborations, joint ventures and disclosure agreements as well as regulatory, contractual and commercial matters generally.
