Skilled Technology Licensing Representation

Developing and perfecting new technology takes an incredible amount of time and resources. Once it is ready for market, it is important to have a sound licensing strategy in place that protects your business interests and ensures that you are fairly compensated for the use of your technology.

Purchasing technology products and services is equally important to your business and requires a similar amount of care and skill. You want to make sure you have the proper terms in place to protect your business and give you an edge over your competition.

An experienced intellectual property lawyer can help you to reach your goals through the implementation of a sound, well-prepared technology licensing and purchasing program. Ralph Albrecht is a US Registered Patent Attorney with 25 years of experience in private practice handling matters related to patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets.
