Software Development and Licensing

As software developers market and license their products, it is essential that they protect their intellectual property rights. Ice Miller works with software and hardware developers to prepare development, licensing, marketing, employment and joint venture agreements to initially acquire and thereafter protect proprietary rights. We also analyze patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret issues related to software and hardware, and obtain U.S. and foreign patents as necessary. Our attorneys assist in various commercial transactions related to software, hardware, services and information technology.
