EestiIntellectual property has a key importance in the economic and professional activities of many companies. Unfortunately, even today, it is not rare that matters related to intellectual property seem distant and foreign to many and are therefore undervalued. The adequate and timely protection of intellectual property can lead to an increase in the value of intellectual property and the whole company or professional activity, and it also reduces risks and costs, including costs related to possible disputes.
We advise our clients in all areas related to intellectual property. If necessary, we cooperate with patent attorneys to ensure the best protection of our clients’ interests and rights both in Estonia and elsewhere in the world.
We also have long-term experience in the field of information technology (IT) law. In many cases, an innovative and well-functioning IT and technological solution is a company’s main asset, therefore its protection is highly important.
We advise and represent clients in, among other things, the following:
- providing advice about the registration and protection of intellectual property
- preparing and negotiating agreements related to intellectual property, including development agreements, acquisition and transfer agreements, license agreements, franchise agreements, service and employment agreements related to intellectual property, confidentiality agreements, sales, distribution and marketing agreements
- preparing and negotiating software and hardware-related agreements, including procurement, development, license, software-as-a-service, maintenance, outsourcing and other agreements for support services
- consulting in the field of e-commerce and online services, including preparation of the terms of use for online services
- consulting on mergers and acquisitions of companies operating in the IT and technology sector, and providing the daily consultation for such companies
