Technology & Patents
For many companies, technological developments are essential in order to stay ahead of their competitors. And of course, it is important to recoup investments in Research & Development in an effective manner.
Companies engaged in technological developments will encounter a
number of issues, including the following:
- opting to carry out R&D individually or in collaboration
with partners;
- opting to take out a patent or to protect new developments by
imposing secrecy;
- opting to exploit individually or to grant licences.
Complex considerations and contracts
These issues often involve the weighing up of complex legal
considerations. AKD's IP&Technology practice group has all the
necessary expertise to provide your company with effective
assistance with respect to these considerations. Our specialists
have considerable experience relating to joint development
agreements, confidentiality agreements and licence

In addition, our IP&Technology team is entirely at your
