WHAT WE HANDLE

IP Transactional Services

Royalty Agreements

IP Assignment and Ownsership Transfers
IP Due Dilligence for Mergers and Acquisitions
Trademark Registration
Cross-Licensing and Settlement Agreeements
General Contract Review and Negotiation

The IP Is the Easy Part. The Agreement Is Where Deals Go Wrong.

An IP asset, a patent, trademark, copyright, or trade secret, is only worth what the paperwork around it protects. Licensing terms that are too loose, royalty structures that do not match how the product actually sells, or a due diligence review that misses what a right really covers, any of these can turn a good asset into a liability.

Baker Law Group, PLLC handles the business and legal side of IP you already own or are acquiring: licensing agreements, royalty terms, ownership transfers, and IP review for mergers and acquisitions, across patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. We also handle trademark registration.

A Quick Note on Scope

We handle IP you already have or are acquiring, licensing, royalties, contracts, and M&A review, across patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. We also register trademarks.

The one exception: we do not handle the process of obtaining a patent from the USPTO. If you are trying to patent an invention, this is not the right page for that. If you need help with an agreement, a registration, or a review involving IP you already have, or you want to register a trademark, that is exactly what we do.
