Expertise
Intellectual Property
Ownership of IP Assets
Ownership issues can arise between individual inventors and their employers. We provide assistance relating to the ownership of inventions and non-competition agreements with employees and other inventors. We provide assistance to minimize disputes along with appropriate documentation to ensure an employer's rights are secured. Close collaboration between our intellectual property and employment and labour teams enables clients to gain access to the newest developments in both fields, which intersect in this area of law.
We also provide assistance with negotiating, drafting, registering, and enforcing agreements, such as: confidentiality/non-disclosure, research and collaborative research, proprietary rights, technology transfer, and joint ownership.
