Technology Transfer and Licensing

Based on our business experience and expertise in software applications, Lebow, Malecki & Tasch, LLC’s attorneys support information technology businesses.

Our Technology Practice attorneys represent a wide array of clients. We have business and legal experience in the creation, sourcing, procurement, development and use of technology.

EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE TO ACHIEVE
YOUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVES

For our clients who create, sell, or license technology, we understand the value of their intellectual property and how to both protect and leverage those assets. Our knowledge of licensing, outsourcing, related professional services, maintenance and support, and complex transactions, from both the vendor
and user perspectives, enables us to negotiate the elements of a deal that offers our clients the highest direct and indirect value for their innovation. We can implement improvements to existing standard agreements. We have firsthand experience in the technology sales process and will help you establish
the shortest time to sale and reduce transaction costs.

We have decades of experience to effectively and efficiently assist clients in the development of policies and procedures that address legal risks and operational issues that arise from the use of technology in the workplace, including policies on employee technology use, security, and data privacy and confidentiality.

Our practical business experience and technical knowledge help clients purchase and implement complicated information systems to achieve their business objectives. We work closely with each client's in-house team and technical consultants to articulate the organization's business objectives, define goals in enforceable contract language and negotiate reduction of technology costs and risks.

YOUR ACQUISITION AND IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES
FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

The acquisition and the implementation of information systems require in-depth understanding of the business being served. Acquisition issues include: vendor representations on system performance and integration, ownership of custom programming, acceptance testing, the scope of warranties, vendor liability, indemnification, insurance, remedies for varying degrees of breach of warranty or system failure, dissolution process definition, maintenance obligations, and upgrade and enhancement opportunities.

Implementation issues include: security, balancing the need for access to information with confidentiality requirements, antitrust compliance, disaster avoidance and recovery; and meeting security, regulatory, licensure and accreditation requirements in the U.S. and international jurisdictions. We also address dissolution and transition/transfer issues proactively.
