We have seen corporations and businesses starting to realize and appreciate the importance of intellectual property, and how such assets have come to be a significant and indispensable part of their assets and business.

At ONC, we assist our clients with various commercial advisory works, such as the role and effect of IP rights in commercial activities such as corporate mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, reorganizations etc. To assist our clients in developing their businesses, we advise and assist in preparing a wide range of IP related agreements.
