Legal Services. The law office of Michael F. Rozmajzl, Esq. P.C. has broad experience in representing device manufacturers, distributors, representatives, and suppliers. This experience includes negotiating and designing technology procurement, contract manufacturing, outsourced manufacturing, and downstream licensing of technology. The law office can also negotiate and structure down-stream distribution and representative agreements, supply contracts, and sales contracts.

The key to manufacturing and development is to ensure that your technology is protected. This is achieved through strong internal and external controls. Internal controls include proprietary rights agreements entered into by employees, work-for-hire agreements with contractors, and design and implementation of policies on protecting trade secrets under the guidelines of state law. Externally, intellectual property protection goes beyond a confidentiality agreement. Third-parties involved in the channel of distribution should agree to restrictive covenants such as non-competition, non-solicitation, and prohibition on reverse engineering.

In addition to implementing controls to protect your technology, manufacturers and technology owners should adopt a robust intellectual property policy setting forth the duty of engineers to complete invention disclosure forms and assign all inventions to the company. The law office of Michael F. Rozmajzl, Esq., P.C. designs policies and forms for invention disclosure and patent policy.
