Advising a large software company in negotiations with one of the worlds top 10 retailers

Our client, Yardstick Business Solutions Limited, is the owner of a uniquely powerful software tool in the packaging industry. We recently advised them on a contract negotiation with a Top 10 global retail brand, in relation to the interaction between limitations of liability and intellectual property rights. Our client was being asked to limit its liability to the contract sum, without any exception for breach of our client’s intellectual property rights such as copying of the functionality or reverse-engineering the software. 
 
We were able to suggest amendments to the agreement that ensured  that Yardstick’s value in the software was not in jeopardy and enabled the parties to successfully move into a commercial relationship
