Exploring offshore markets? Maybe you’re entering into a strategic alliance in a foreign country, or considering licensing your product to a foreign subsidiary. Extending your intellectual property to foreign markets can broaden your market exposure and grow your business. It also can expose you to greater infringement risk.
