Patent Transactions

Patent Assignments and Asset Purchase Agreements 

Patents are property and can be assigned from one party to another, whether independently or part of a larger asset purchase agreement. Argus can help you negotiate, prepare, and record patent assignments with the USPTO that properly convey the chain of title from a first party to a second.

​

Joint Development Agreements

Joint development agreements are used when two businesses want to collaborate to develop a new product or form a collaborative or joint business venture. When dealing with innovative technology, patent rights can be a core component of the joint venture. Argus can help you negotiate and prepare joint development agreements that establish clear intellectual property ownership rights.

​

Independent Contractor Agreements

Many businesses and inventors need to hire a product developer or software developer to bring a product to market. It is important to have the proper independent contractor agreement in place to secure the rights in the IP that is developed between the parties.
