Technology Law: A Case Study

The Business

Our client is a world leader in the development of bespoke content management systems, applications and large scale solutions for deployment on the web, ITV, IPTV, Mobile and In-flight entertainment platforms worldwide.

The Challenge

In a market where software and application development is constantly evolving and our client’s business plan changes every six months, the challenge was to commercialise its proprietary software with a suite of standard documents including Master Services Agreements, Software Evaluation & Licence Agreements, Software as a Service Agreements, Reseller Agreements, Service and Support Agreements and Sales Partner Agreements.

The Outcome

Acting as in-house counsel, Bayard Lawyers negotiated agreements with the largest communications and telecommunications companies in the world, including Consulting Agreements, Letters of Intent, Master Services Agreements, Software Licence & Development Agreements.

Not only is our client working on some of the largest IPTV projects in the world, its intellectual property is protected and the projects deployed with minimum risk.
