Transactions

Allen has worked with clients in many industries to draft and review contracts and to license both real and intellectual property. He has represented clients in acquisitions and other transactional and licensing matters ranging in size from tens of thousands to over two billion dollars.

Issues of Ownership

When employees, consultants, outside contractors, joint venturers, or collaborative research and development partners work to advance technology, issues of technology ownership can arise. From the outset, and through non‑disclosure agreements, employee invention disclosure and assignment agreements, consulting agreements, non-competition agreements, and research collaboration and joint development agreements, we carefully craft these relationships to clarify and protect your rights.

Building Relationships

We also guide clients through the technology transfer agreements often key to the successful commercialization of inventions. License agreements, complex assignment transactions, and the underlying due diligence and transfer-of-rights agreements are among the different commercial relationships we devise to help clients protect and secure the commercial benefits of their technology and business.

From Conception

From the initial conception of inventions through the process of monetizing them, Allen and his colleagues have the expertise to draft the agreements necessary to secure and protect clients’ real and intellectual property rights.
