Why Choose BSB?
Strategic Business Counsel
We advise clients on intellectual property transactions, due diligence, and global portfolio management, helping ensure that IP assets are aligned with broader business objectives and commercial strategy.
Business Agreements
We draft and negotiate a wide range of agreements designed to protect your business interests, including invention assignment and employee obligation provisions, confidentiality agreements, non-compete provisions, and clear IP ownership terms. Our documents are practical, thorough, and designed to prevent disputes before they arise.
Client-Centered Communication
We begin by understanding how your business operates and how intellectual property supports your commercial goals. Whether we’re drafting agreements, advising on transactions, or managing global IP assets, we communicate clearly, explain risks and options in practical terms, and remain accessible throughout the process, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Product Distribution & Sales Agreements
From distribution contracts to reseller and sales agreements, we structure arrangements that protect intellectual property rights, maintain quality control, and clearly define the commercial terms of your distribution relationships.
IP Acquisition, Development & Licensing
We structure and negotiate IP transactions involving patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Whether acquiring IP assets, developing joint initiatives, or licensing intellectual property to generate revenue, we protect your interests while supporting successful business relationships.
Copyright Registration & Protection
We register copyrights for original works of authorship, including software, written content, artistic works, and architectural designs, providing formal protection and enhanced enforcement options for creative assets.
Copyright Enforcement
When copyrights are infringed, we take prompt, strategic action—ranging from cease-and-desist letters and DMCA takedown notices to litigation in the U.S. and abroad—to protect your rights and deter future misuse.
Global IP Portfolio Management
We provide ongoing oversight of international IP portfolios by coordinating filings across jurisdictions, managing renewals and deadlines, and monitoring assets to ensure your global IP portfolio is maintained efficiently and cost-effectively.
