IP and Technology Transactions

The Hogan Lovells IP and technology transactions group understands the many ways IP can be commercialized for the benefit of your company. IP agreements need to comply with local laws, cover potential risks, and provide solutions to issues that may arise during the term of the contract. We make sure to cover everything you care about, from structuring the deal, to negotiating and drafting.

With more than 100 IP professionals in the Americas and 400 globally, we can help you determine the best approach to managing the identification, evaluation, and monetization of your IP rights. Many of our lawyers in our IP group have advanced degrees in scientific disciplines and are well-versed in the newest technological innovations. As a result, we’re able to anticipate our clients’ needs across every industry.

Our technology transactions lawyers regularly collaborate with other practice groups at the firm to prepare comprehensive solutions for issues that may arise during a transaction. We work closely with our M&A, tax, export, government contracts, finance, privacy, antitrust, and dispute resolution teams to help navigate all the nuances of technology transfer. Our ability to integrate our first-class regulatory, corporate, and commercial practices allows us to meet the unique demands of a wide range of clients, from small start-ups to the world’s largest companies.
