Legal Issues
The Internet offers business opportunities on a worldwide
scale. Many companies wish to take advantage of such a tremendous tool. To
accelerate their growth and access new clients, many companies will consider
entering into strategic alliances with companies offering compatible
technology. Their common goal is to increase their service or product
offering or provide a better performing technology. Hence, strategic
alliances agreements are created…
• Advantages and disadvantages of such alliances
• Creation of IP and allocation of rights thereto
• Rules of engagement pertaining to the promotion and marketing of products
and services
• Support services issues surrounding the new technology
• Financial terms
• Right of audit
• Termination of agreement and its consequences
