IP Management

Alston & Bird has extensive experience in intellectual property management and related transactions.  Either alone or together with lawyers from our other IP groups, we also regularly counsel our clients regarding patent licensing programs, intellectual property asset exploitation, patent mapping, invention harvesting strategies, and trademark and domain name portfolio management.  In addition, members of the IP group frequently conduct IP audits and due diligence investigations and analysis in connection with corporate acquisitions, financings and bankruptcies.

Our attorneys also are frequently called upon to lead client efforts in connection with strategic alliance agreements, intellectual property holding companies, consulting agreements and non-disclosure agreements.  We have helped numerous clients establish their e-business and digital commerce capabilities through creation of Web site development, wireless Internet implementations, co-branding and linking agreements, business-to-business and exchange transactions, privacy policies and legal disclaimers.
