IP Technology Transfer
At R K Dewan & Co., we specialize in facilitating the crucial exchange of intellectual property, ensuring that all aspects of the transaction are carefully structured and compliant with relevant laws and regulations. Our services cover the drafting, negotiation and execution of IP technology transfer agreements, including licensing, assignments, joint ventures and research and development collaborations.
In the process of technology transfer, we address several considerations such as; the scope of the transfer, ensuring that the IP is used only as intended and defining the geographic and temporal limits of the agreement. Confidentiality clauses are also a vital component of any technology transfer, safeguarding proprietary information from misuse.
What is IP Technology Transfer?
IP Technology transfer refers to the legal process of transferring technical knowledge, innovations and intellectual property rights from one entity to another. This can involve licensing agreements (where the owner retains rights but grants usage rights to the recipient) or outright assignments (where ownership of the IP is transferred). It can occur in the context of business acquisitions, collaborations between universities and corporations or between companies engaged in research and development partnerships.
