Areas of Practice

Intellectual Property

Gallagher & Cavanaugh represents licensors and licensees, including biomedical firms, research institutions, universities, museums, philanthropic organizations, artists, programmers, and inventors seeking to capitalize on and protect their intellectual property. Intellectual assets have become a dominant feature of the economy, and the opportunities and risks have increased for both owners and licensees. Our attorneys are committed to identifying those risks and opportunities up front and conveying them in clear and concise terms. We help guide clients through the difficult decisions attending most intellectual property deals, even before actual investment, production, and sales figures can be known, so that they are comfortable throughout negotiations.
