Our attorneys were among the founders of the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor and spent a decade developing and understanding the strengths of this community through countless hours of community service. Whether through the negotiation and creation of research development agreements, technology transfers from universities, privately developed and promoted ventures, or technological advances for large animal veterinarians, our firm is well suited to handle various matters regarding animal health and research.

We understand that animal health is not just a soundbite to our communities and clients. By taking an active role in your projects and organization, the firm works to understand, facilitate, and grow your projects.

Bioscience joint ventures and research relationships require a unique understanding of the appropriate industry, parties, and law. Mann Conroy understands the complexities created by joint ventures, sponsored research projects, and collaborative development iniatives. The firm advises on the key elements of each transaction, such as regulatory and corporate approvals, division and transfer of intellectual property rights, collaboration and joint effort arrangements, industry regulatory approvals, and management and control responsibilities of the parties.

Sometimes the best way to achieve a goal is jointly with another party. We protect your interests during this process, while promoting the synergies of the deal.

Intellectual property rights can be created and maintained by a variety of legal mechanisms.  Mann Conroy advises in the creation, protection, and enforcement of intellectual property rights as well as the review, drafting, and negotiation of related agreements across a wide range of industries.  The firm’s advisory services include trade mark, copyright, trade secret, and confidentiality and privacy rights, technology transfers, licensing agreements, brand development, marketing and distribution, partnering and strategic alliances, infringement claims, and due diligence in business and commercial transactions.

Intellectual property may be the single most important asset of your organization. Our goal is to help you understand how to legally protect and develop it.
