I.P., software, tech & automotive

We deal with:

• specific contracts regarding IP rights;
• contracts relating to the purchase, sale, development and licensing of software;
• extrajudicial and judicial litigation regarding the rights of economic exploitation of the intellectual work;
• extrajudicial and judicial litigation regarding infringement of intellectual property;
• protection of IP rights in the field of new technologies, in particular with reference to IT contracts and technological know-how, an area in which the firm assists primary Italian companies that also operate abroad.

In our experience, the parties to a contract concerning a specific kind of software (for example, a "custom development", a "vertical application", a "customization", an "E.R.P.") aren't always fully aware of all the practical and legal aspects to be regulated and, above all, the negative consequences deriving from a defective contract, including those related to:

• intellectual property rights;
• industrial property (patenting rights);
• non-competition;
• confidentiality.

It is no coincidence that contracts relating to the development of software often lead to disputes between the parties - typically: a client company and a supplier (e.g.: a software house) - which an adequate contract could have prevented or, in any case, could help resolve without necessarily resorting to jurisdiction.

We support web agencies, freelancers, content creators and designers: we provide them with procedures that help them work better and safely, also through the provision of tools to protect their credit rights towards partners, suppliers and clients.
