On April 30, 2018, the Licensing Executives Society International (LESI) presented retired Finnegan partner Patrick O’Reilley with the LESI Gold Award—the organization’s highest recognition. Pat was honored for his contributions to the law and business of licensing, as well as to LESI, having served as president of the organization in 2010.
While a partner at Finnegan, Pat’s practice focused almost exclusively on transactions involving intellectual property and technology transfer. He represented large and small clients as licensors and as licensees in industries such as biotechnology, telecommunications, computer technology, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products. Pat counseled clients on many types of transactions, ranging from simple license agreements to complex research and strategic marketing collaborations; strategies for exploiting intellectual property to achieve desired business goals; and intellectual property-related agreements, such as employment, consulting, joint R&D, license, marketing and distribution, supply, and collaboration. Pat also guided clients through disputes arising from technology transfer contracts and helped clients formulate, negotiate, and prepare agreements settling disputes.
