RFID TEAM
Our RFID Team helps businesses and industries transition and expand in this emerging sector. We provide multidisciplinary resources to capture the full value of RFID technology and offer clients strategic business, government affairs and legal advice in RFID creation, development, procurement, use and application.
RFID Government Affairs | RFID providers want a consistent, predictable and growing market for RFID, and RFID users want to avoid inconsistent mandates with greater cost, risk and uncertainty. To these ends, we have been working with RFID providers and users to offer guidance to an increasing number of federal and state policy makers interested in RFID technology and its huge potential. Our attorneys and public policy advisors are recognized as leaders in their fields, and at the cutting-edge in a variety of disciplines relevant to RFID. Our legal team works in concert with an experienced team of government affairs professionals with experience at the highest levels of local, state and federal government. Members of the team have served in senior government positions in key agencies and have worked closely with primary agencies in charge of the procurement efforts, including the Department of Defense, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Transportation, Department of Health and Human Services, Government Accountability Office and many more.
RFID Government Contracts | McKenna Long & Aldridge is recognized as the original, largest and most prominent government contracts practice in the United States. We represent a vast array of public and private entities, from the most experienced defense contractors to commercial companies attempting to enter the government market for the first time.
We are currently monitoring and advising our clients and industry/trade contacts in the following areas:
* Privacy concerns and information management
* Public policy and regulatory affairs - Federal and State
* Supply chain logistics, dynamics and liability
* RFID government procurement
* Patent reforms
* Public-private partnerships
* Commercial law and general contracting
* EU regulatory affairs
* HR issues relating to RFID use in the workplace
RFID Intellectual Property | Drawing upon the firm's vast intellectual property experience, which spans a wide array of sophisticated technologies, MLA's Intellectual Property & Technology team excels in understanding all aspects of the design and manufacturing of RFID technology, counsels companies on patent procurement and litigation and helps guide companies in their interactions with the newly formed RFID licensing consortium. Consequently, MLA is uniquely suited to advise companies involved in the design, manufacture and implementation of RFID technology on the legal implications arising from the government and private sector mandated usage and implementation of that technology.
