For technology companies and other innovation-driven businesses, intellectual property often is the business. KSJ counsels startups and established tech companies on protecting the assets that give them their edge — trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and the licensing arrangements that let a company monetize what it builds.

We work with founders early, before a naming dispute or a licensing gap becomes expensive, and we work with established companies managing a growing portfolio of IP across products, markets, and partners. Our role is to help clients understand what they own, what they're licensing away, and where the exposure is — in plain language, not just legal terms.

We advise on:

  • Trademark clearance, registration, and enforcement
  • Copyright protection and licensing
  • Software and technology licensing agreements
  • Trade secret protection
  • IP due diligence for financings and acquisitions
