Collaboration and R&D Agreement Solicitors
Across the whole spectrum of high-technology and R&D (research and development) based industries, collaboration and joint R&D projects can be the key to successfully bringing abstract ideas to fruition – and then commercialising and exploiting the results in different fields.
We combine technical legal excellence with a strong knowledge of the sectors in which high-technology businesses operate and a willingness to take the time to gain a clear understanding of the concepts at the heart of our client’s project. The result is a top class, highly flexible approach tailored to the bespoke circumstances of every single venture.
We help our clients select an appropriate mechanism by which to undertake their project – whether through a bilateral agreement, or a separate joint-venture vehicle owned by the collaboration partners. In conjunction with our corporate and commercial projects lawyers, we can take care of all the legal aspects of the chosen mechanism.
Our Intellectual Property team has many years’ experience of drafting and negotiating collaboration and research and development agreements. We use this to help our clients negotiate key terms on intellectual property ownership, fields of use and application and compliance with UK and EU competition law. As always, our philosophy is based around producing technically sound documents and providing reasoned and commercially sensitive legal advice which empowers our clients to make decisions which work for their business both in the short term and the longer term.
