We draft and negotiate information technology agreements. These include software licenses, SaaS and cloud computing agreements, domestic and foreign outsourcing contracts, IT distribution agreements (VAR, OEM), joint development agreements, data “licenses,” and IT professional services contracts, as well as sales of hardware, semiconductors, and semiconductor IP cores.
We also advise clients on the issues created by open source software licenses, particularly copyleft licenses. We have particular expertise crafting programs to determine appropriate use of copyleft software, avoid inappropriate use, and segregate viral-licensed software from other applications.
