From drafting agreements to global litigation management, our comprehensive suite of services optimizes your IP assets for success. Some of the services we offer include the following:

Agreement Drafting

Crafting clear, effective agreements is critical to the success of your business. Whether you need to draft non-disclosure agreements, supply agreements, or complex technology transfer agreements, we strive to tailor our guidance to your needs. We aim to help you achieve airtight contracts that maximize your chances of success.

We are experienced in resolving potential ambiguities before they become an issue, making your agreements more robust and enforceable.

We provide practical and future-proof agreements by keeping abreast of the latest legal frameworks and industry standards. Our attorney strives to deliver solutions that protect your interests and build enduring business relationships.

Claim Interpretation, Charting & Assertion Management

Successfully asserting your IP requires precise claim interpretation and persuasive charting. At David L. Cohen, P.C., we strive to create impactful infringement assertions that balance technical advocacy with credibility.

We can help you develop dynamic monetization strategies tailored to feedback from potential licensees while keeping your overarching goals intact. Our attorney will meticulously analyze patent claims to uncover their most substantial aspects and make sure they align with enforcement objectives.

By leveraging our technical know-how, we can help craft compelling narratives that highlight the value and relevance of your intellectual property. We also provide strategic guidance to anticipate and counter challenges, which can strengthen your position in negotiations or litigation.

Defensive Licensing, Litigation & Threat Assessment

Balancing offensive and defensive IP strategies is critical to stay ahead. We help businesses distinguish between nuisance claims and real threats, creating effective IP defense approaches.

Our strategies minimize disruption and maximize the chances of resolving assertions quickly and affordably. This includes conducting detailed risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities in your IP portfolio and addressing them proactively.

We also help build robust counterclaims and defenses to protect your assets against unjustified allegations.

F/RAND Compliance & IP Antitrust Guidance

Dealing with IP and antitrust laws, especially with Standard Essential Patents (SEPs), can be tricky. With experience in significant cases like Nokia v. Qualcomm and Nokia v. Apple, we can help you meet F/RAND requirements across different regions. We strive to keep you compliant and protect your business interests worldwide.

Our team provides strategic advice on licensing practices to secure fair and reasonable terms while preserving competitive market dynamics.

We also help resolve SEP-related disputes through negotiation, mediation, or litigation if necessary. By leveraging our deep understanding of global antitrust frameworks, we help mitigate risks and safeguard your technological innovations.

Global Litigation Management

Cross-jurisdictional litigation requires strategic and systematic oversight. From goal-setting to budget planning, we help simplify complex litigation processes to meet your business objectives seamlessly and cost-effectively.

Our team will collaborate with local counsel to comply with jurisdiction-specific regulations and procedural requirements. We aim to streamline the processes of gathering evidence and document review using advanced data management tools to enhance efficiency.

We also focus on proactive communication strategies to keep stakeholders informed at every stage of litigation.

IP and Public Markets Compliance

Balancing disclosure requirements in public markets with the sensitive nature of IP transactions requires finesse. We strive for compliance while safeguarding your IP interests, helping bridge the gap between business transparency and operational confidentiality.

Our team provides tailored guidance to address the needs of regulatory frameworks and reporting obligations.

We collaborate with clients to develop strategies that mitigate risks while maintaining competitive advantages. By prioritizing compliance and innovation, we help businesses thrive in complex public market environments.

Effective Licensing Negotiations

Successful IP licensing involves a blend of legal and interpersonal skills and regulatory knowledge. We bring years of experience to the table, enabling us to negotiate licensing agreements that are profitable, compliant, and aligned with your business vision.

We aim to make sure every agreement maximizes value while safeguarding your intellectual property rights. We focus on building partnerships that promote mutual growth and long-term collaboration.

We also leverage technology and data-driven insights to monitor progress and enhance efficiency throughout the management process.

We identify, assess, and strengthen your trade secret portfolio while implementing safeguards to prevent leaks. If your secrets are compromised, our team will swiftly mitigate damage and recover what’s rightfully yours.
