In addition to their own research and development capabilities, successful businesses today increasingly harness the technology and intellectual capital of other companies, as well as ideas residing in the public domain. The use of these resources through outsourcing, mergers, joint ventures, joint development agreements, and acquisitions can increase an organization’s reach and speed while lowering costs—but it poses significant risk as well.
At BakerHostetler, the lawyers in our Technology & IP Transactions and Outsourcing team help clients across all sectors of the economy make money by leveraging their intellectual property and technology and lowering costs by tapping into resources worldwide. Our team’s experience spans a wide range of industries, including financial services, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, management consulting/professional services, and computer technology.
