ANTI-COUNTERFEITING SERVICES

We offer business methods, strategies and technologies to defend companies products from counterfeiting, piracy and unfair competition attacks.

CONTROL SYSTEMS

to assess compliance with the law of trademarks and products.

Both in Italy and worldwide there is a proliferation of trademarks associated to specific regulations or production guidelines set up by official authorities which not always have the necessary in-house resources to control dealers in order to assess whether there are abuses and check the protection offered by trademarks.

SYSTEMATIC AUDITING

We audit the correct use of licensed trademarks through effective checks and without altering the primary relationship of mutual partnership. The compliance with the contractual agreement and the use of the licensed trademark is a must-have condition not to betray consumer expectations, as well as to safeguard products and its image against damages.

SCREENING OF TRADEMARKS AND LICENCES

Through the extensive use of databases, Internet and market screening, it is possible to assess how to present and sell a product without making acts of counterfeiting and/or unfair competition which can damage your trademark. It is therefore possible to obtain a safe and evidentiary documentation in order to apply effective protection strategies aimed at removing damages and restoring the conditions of fair competition.

TECHNOLOGIES TRANSFER

We makes available the appropriate skills - a licensing expert - for setting up properly any aspect linked to a licence contract.

The drawing up of a technology transfer licensing agreement (patents transfer) needs qualified and multidisciplinary skills because of its countless modalities.

Experts dealing with licensing agreements must have good scientific and technical knowledge in order to allow them to understand correctly the technologies to be transferred, their quality level and state of obsolescence, as well as the R&D methodologies involved. An in-depth legal knowledge of trademarks and licences and, of course, of the processes involved in technologies transfer is also required. In order to properly manage contractual negotiation, especially when it embraces partnership, co-operation and collaboration agreements, it is necessary to master marketing techniques. In fact, technologies transfer agreements can also include - beyond the elements of a licence contract - references to different contracts. For example, they can include partnership agreements, settlement systems for services or supplied machines and research co¬operation for further technology developments, etc.

In technology transactions, the licensor can have different kinds of relationship with the licensee. In effect, he can not only acts as a licensor, but also as a supplier of a large range of products and services, and even as a partner of the joint-venture.
