Intellectual property
Intellectual Property Law USA–EU: Trademarks, Copyright, Patents & Licensing
Protecting intellectual property in the United States requires understanding trademark registration, copyright protection, patent filing, licensing agreements, technology transfer and enforcement options under US federal law. Galaniuk Law advises European companies on securing trademarks and copyright, drafting and negotiating licensing agreements, protecting technology and know-how, enforcing IP rights in the US and navigating differences between US and EU intellectual property law.
Licensing Agreements: Opportunities for European Companies in the USA
German companies can expand into the USA through license agreements or expand existing commitments. This is because German technology and intellectual property is in demand and also offers attractive potential for the US partner. With this expansion option, the German company is looking at a relatively manageable investment outlay. The license agreement regulates the business basis and the legal situation of the parties and must therefore contain protection mechanisms with regard to intellectual property. The contract is therefore of particular importance.
Galaniuk Law supports and advises companies in the drafting and negotiation of license agreements relating to intellectual property and industrial property rights. Detailed information and an explanation of a case study can be found under Legal Articles (Germany version).
