Intellectual Property
Software Piracy & Licensing
Software Licensing Services
The software is an intangible legal asset which, due to its complexity, is seldom accessible to licensing with a simple software license agreement limited to the design of industrial property rights. License agreements play an essential role in all areas of intellectual property. Whether patents, copyrights, design, know-how or brands, licensing agreements on the usufructuary power and the business model decide everywhere.
We advise our clients on all important issues of software licensing, such as the transfer of software, documentation, distribution of rights in the further development and warranty as well as termination possibilities.

Get advice on designing and reviewing licensing agreements such as end-user, purchasing agreements, and rental license agreements. Also, we help you with the contract execution.

Free licensing applies to open source software as well as to works that may be used under Creative Commons licenses. These licensing models contain specific legal problems in which we have particular expertise. For example, Copyleft licenses require the processing of the original work under the same open source license conditions. When this is the case, it must be assessed by the particular technical constellation and requires experience in this interface area of law and technology which they can expect from us.
