Muir Patent Consulting, PLLC

Successful patent license negotiations require a wide range of skills.  One must be able to effectively persuade a potential licensee of the need to take a license.  This typically requires a detailed but coherent discussion of the relevant technology, as well as a comprehensive understanding of how a patent may be affected by litigation.   Having persuaded a party of the need to take a patent license, a deal must be negotiated that both parties can accept.
