Expert IP Counsel for a Complex Software Licensing Dispute

Our company, a mid-sized tech firm based in Columbus, faced a challenging and potentially costly dispute over a software licensing agreement with a former partner. We needed counsel who understood both the legal intricacies and the technical nuances of our product. Gavin Manning at Oyen Wiggs was recommended to us, and his 19 years of experience, particularly in Information Technology and Intellectual Property Law, were immediately evident. He guided us through a strategic negotiation process with a deep understanding of the underlying technology and market standards. His recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Intellectual Property Law on multiple occasions wasn't just a title; it translated into a confident, authoritative approach that commanded respect from the opposing side. We achieved a settlement that protected our core IP and future revenue streams without resorting to litigation. The only minor critique would be that during particularly busy periods, response times from his direct line could occasionally stretch to a full business day, though his paralegal was always responsive for urgent matters. Overall, Gavin provided exceptional, strategic counsel that was worth the investment. We would not hesitate to engage him again for complex IP or IT matters.
