Patent and Data Rights
Protecting Innovation, Securing Data Ownership, and Maximizing Competitive Advantage
In an economy driven by innovation, intellectual property—particularly patents and data rights—defines corporate value and national competitiveness. Whether developing breakthrough technologies, engaging in public sector R&D, or negotiating commercial licensing, organizations must carefully manage the ownership, protection, and exploitation of both patents and proprietary data.
At SJKP LLP, our Patent and Data Rights practice integrates deep technical knowledge with legal precision to help clients safeguard innovation and navigate the complex web of IP, data, and government regulations. We represent global technology firms, defense contractors, research institutions, and venture-backed startups across every phase of invention, protection, commercialization, and enforcement.

1. Strategic Patent Portfolio Development and Management
A strong patent portfolio is the foundation of technological leadership. We help clients design, build, and manage patent portfolios that align with business objectives and create long-term value.
Our lawyers and technical professionals possess advanced degrees in engineering, biotechnology, software, and materials science, allowing us to identify and protect key innovations efficiently.
Patent Prosecution and Global Coordination
We manage patent filings, examinations, and oppositions before the USPTO, EPO, and other national offices, coordinating global protection under the PCT system.
Patent Strategy and Competitive Intelligence
Our team conducts patent landscape analyses and freedom-to-operate (FTO) assessments to guide R&D investment and mitigate infringement risks.
2. Data Rights in Government and Commercial Contracts
In the digital and defense sectors, “data” can be as valuable as patents. Ownership and licensing of technical data, software code, and proprietary algorithms often determine commercial success.
We help clients navigate U.S. federal acquisition regulations (FAR, DFARS) and international frameworks governing technical data and computer software rights.
Government Contracts and Technical Data Rights
We advise contractors on rights in technical data and computer software developed under government-funded programs, ensuring compliance and protecting commercial interests.
Proprietary Information and Restricted Rights
Our lawyers draft data rights clauses to preserve ownership and prevent unauthorized use or disclosure by government agencies or third parties.
3. Protecting Data as an Intellectual Asset
Beyond traditional patents, companies now rely on data-driven insights as sources of innovation and competitive differentiation.
SJKP LLP assists clients in securing, licensing, and monetizing proprietary datasets while ensuring compliance with privacy, export, and cybersecurity laws.
Data Ownership and Licensing Structures
We structure data-sharing and licensing agreements that preserve proprietary control while enabling commercial collaboration.

4. Patent Enforcement, Licensing, and Dispute Resolution
Even the most innovative companies face challenges enforcing and monetizing their intellectual property. We represent clients in infringement litigation, licensing negotiations, and arbitration involving complex technologies across jurisdictions.
Our lawyers have successfully defended and asserted patent rights in federal courts, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), and foreign patent tribunals.
Patent Litigation and ITC Proceedings
We represent patentees and defendants in infringement suits and Section 337 ITC investigations involving high-technology sectors.
Licensing and Royalty Disputes
Our lawyers negotiate and enforce complex patent licensing and royalty agreements, ensuring sustainable value realization.
5. Data Rights in Emerging Technologies: AI, Cloud, and Digital Platforms
As artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital platforms reshape how innovation is created and shared, questions of data ownership and algorithmic control take center stage.
SJKP LLP helps clients establish frameworks for protecting proprietary algorithms, datasets, and AI-generated works under evolving IP and data protection laws.
AI and Machine Learning Data Governance
We design governance models that define ownership and usage rights in AI training data and outputs.
