BARRY FRIEDMAN ADVISES CLIENTS ON INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, DATA PRIVACY, AND TECHNOLOGY MATTERS WITH A PRAGMATIC, BUSINESS-FIRST APPROACH FOCUSED ON DELIVERING COMMERCIALLY MEANINGFUL RESULTS.

Barry is a patent and technology lawyer who focuses on the acquisition, distribution, licensing, and protection of digital technologies and related business assets. With more than three decades of experience, he works closely with clients to understand how their technology and data fit within their broader business objectives, and tailors legal strategies accordingly.

Rather than approaching issues in isolation, Barry emphasizes practical, efficient solutions that align with commercial realities. He helps clients prioritize what is truly worth protecting, avoiding unnecessary complexity and cost while ensuring that key assets are appropriately secured and positioned for use in the marketplace.

His practice spans the full lifecycle of technology and data-driven systems, including software, remote information processing, and evolving digital infrastructures. He regularly advises on data security and privacy matters, including the development of policies, procedures, and disaster recovery plans, as well as post-breach response, reporting, and remediation.

Barry also structures and negotiates complex agreements involving technology and data, including licensing, development, distribution, and transfer arrangements. His work often involves evaluating how responsibility for data usage, accuracy, and security should be allocated among parties, particularly in environments involving emerging technologies such as machine learning.

In addition to transactional work, Barry has significant experience in intellectual property and technology-related disputes, including litigation and alternative dispute resolution. His broad technical background-spanning software, hardware, mechanical systems, and other disciplines-allows him to quickly understand complex issues and provide informed, practical guidance across a wide range of industries.
