Halina Dziewit was among the early practitioners in intellectual property to advance the concept that intellectual assets are valuable property interests that should be strategically cultivated, harvested, and exploited to position an asset holder within a technology field and marketplace to obtain the best return on investment. Ms. Dziewit advises clients with interests in domestic and international licensing, technology transfer, and high technology transactions—including CRADAs, R&D agreements, distributor agreements, and marketing agreements—involving patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights, software, Internet, and confidential know-how and information matters.
Ms. Dziewit also has extensive experience with intellectual property matters affecting the commercial, non-profit, government, and academic sectors. Additionally, she has provided advice, counsel, and support in litigation matters involving work-for-hire issues related to software, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, domain name disputes, patent infringement, and licensing disputes.
Ms. Dziewit regularly counsels clients in a variety of high technology areas, including telecommunications, computer hardware and software, super computers, mass storage, computer peripherals, wireless communications, Internet, business methods, aviation technologies, atmospheric and weather technologies, energy/power technologies, pharmaceuticals, sporting equipment, educational material, and a variety of mechanical and electrical devices. Ms. Dziewit also performs intellectual property audits, due diligence, and intellectual property valuations. She acquired in-house experience at Bell Laboratories, Storage Technology Corporation, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research/National Center for Atmospheric Research, WITI Corporation, and WITI Pacific, Ltd.
