Research, Development and Collaboration Agreements
In the field of high technology, many private companies enter into research and development agreements with universities or other academic institutions. In these agreements, it is not just the economic framework that has a decisive role but also questions of distribution and marketing as well as the allocation of intellectual property and protection of the respective know-how. The specialist lawyers from our Commercial Agreements practice area, together with colleagues from other practice areas where necessary, have the expertise that is needed in the various industry sectors to effectively advise on the legal framework for co-operation in the context of research and development projects.
