Intellectual Property (IP)

We advise clients on developing long-term intellectual property strategies designed to protect and maximize the value of their technological and commercial assets.

Our services include:

• Determining which elements of a company’s technology should be protected through registered rights and which should be maintained as trade secrets.

• Identifying jurisdictions in which protection should be sought, based on target markets and the geographic presence of competitors.

• Analyzing patent applications filed by competitors and assessing their potential impact on the client’s strategic options.

As part of this process, we work closely with senior management and key stakeholders—including R&D leaders, marketing teams, and executives responsible for strategic planning—to ensure that the company’s intellectual property strategy aligns with its broader business objectives.

We provide outsourced intellectual property management services for companies that have not yet reached the scale that justifies maintaining an in-house intellectual property manager.

Our services include:

• Coordinating and supervising external patent attorneys responsible for drafting patent applications.

• Advising on responses to examination reports and challenges raised during registration processes.

• Assisting companies in planning and managing their intellectual property budgets.

• Overseeing administrative processes such as patent and trademark renewals.

We assist clients in establishing internal procedures designed to safeguard intellectual property assets.

Our services include:

• Drafting internal policies for the protection of trade secrets.

• Preparing confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements.

• Implementing documentation and reporting processes for technological developments.

• Conducting employee training programs on intellectual property protection.

Companies invest significant resources in developing intellectual property with the goal of transforming innovation into commercial value. We assist clients in monetizing their intellectual property through product commercialization and licensing arrangements with customers, strategic partners, and other third parties.

Our services include structuring and negotiating licensing arrangements and commercialization agreements tailored to the company’s technology and business strategy.

We draft and negotiate cross-border technology agreements, including:

• OEM agreements.

• Software and hardware licensing agreements.

• Research and development collaboration agreements.

• Manufacturing cooperation agreements.

• Import and export agreements involving technology and know-how.

Our work includes analyzing the implications of applicable foreign law and ensuring that intellectual property rights remain enforceable across jurisdictions.

In preparation for investments in technology companies, we conduct detailed reviews of intellectual property portfolios for investors and acquirers.

This process includes evaluating patent portfolios, comparing them with competitors’ filings, identifying potential legal risks, and recommending solutions as part of broader intellectual property risk management.

We assist clients in registering trademarks in Israel and internationally, including through the Madrid Protocol, which enables streamlined international trademark protection.

As part of the process, we conduct trademark availability searches in relevant jurisdictions and advise clients on selecting marks with a strong likelihood of successful registration.

We represent clients in protecting and enforcing their intellectual property rights when disputes arise.

Our work includes issuing cease-and-desist letters and, where necessary, pursuing litigation. Throughout the process, we balance the need to protect a company’s core assets with broader commercial and strategic considerations.
