Description

Drafting and Negotiating Intellectual Property Transactions James A Coles ISBN 9781641058551

Working effectively with intellectual property agreements requires a solid understanding of the underlying intellectual property, its scope and strength, and the available strategies for implementing a client’s business objectives through contractual terms. This practical guide to drafting and negotiating intellectual property transactions offers clear, accessible guidance for new attorneys, practitioners new to IP law, and law students, while also serving as a concise reference for experienced IP and business law professionals.

The book opens with an overview of the core principles of intellectual property protection across the four primary categories—patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. From there, it follows a logical, transaction-focused progression, addressing key issues that arise throughout the lifecycle of an IP agreement, including:

  • Types of intellectual property transactions

  • Intellectual property ownership

  • Transfers and assignments of IP rights

  • Warranties and indemnification provisions

  • Enforcement obligations and defense responsibilities

  • Due diligence considerations in IP transactions

  • Grants of licenses and permissions

  • Agreements restricting disclosure or competition

  • Secured transactions involving intellectual property

  • Treatment of IP under government-funded agreements

  • Application of antitrust laws

This guide equips practitioners with the practical tools and insights needed to structure, negotiate, and document intellectual property transactions with confidence and precision.
