For almost 20 years, software license compliance services constituted our flagship activity. Our extensive track record with the world's top software vendors, who trust us to manage their license strategy and compliance activity, provides a unique expertise from the conceptual design through the execution. We carefully design, implement, and execute every initiative with the adequate mix of elements and always consider diverse perspectives (legal & IP, technical, business, consultancy, and marketing).
Our license management and compliance services cover every detail of the initiatives, including the targeting (segmentation, profiling, scoring), engagement, investigation, discovery, measurements, factual verification, compliance analysis, results sharing and findings positioning, negotiation, and resolution.
Audit services are delivered to Intellectual Property right holders as an integral part of their compliance function. We take the challenge to ensure that licensees comply with their agreements and licensing policies. We make this the perfect opportunity for the IP right-holders to enhance transparency through fact-based license verifications, to reinforce the knowledge, awareness, and compliance, while proactively addressing any potential deficiencies.
Our services go beyond the data collection, we execute a comprehensive and detailed evaluation of the software deployed and usage to assess compliance status based on factual evidence and deep contractual analysis. Software License Audits are generally complex and involve deep understanding of contractual obligations (products licensed, metric, restrictions, etc.), complex technical data collection, investigation and measurement of software deployment and usage and a comprehensive analysis of the facts to determine the actual deployment/usage of software, reconcile the usage with license entitlements and perform the analysis and conclusion of license compliance situation.
IP & IT Law — Foundation Stage
The origins of the company trace back to 2009, when a group of lawyers specialized in Intellectual Property and Information Technology law established Garmendia IP & IT Law. From its earliest days, the firm focused on delivering high-precision legal services for software publishers, combining deep legal expertise with an emerging understanding of digital ecosystems.
This early model quickly proved successful. Under the leadership and operational vision forged through years of regulatory experience in LatinAmerica and early work with multinational technology clients, the practice evolved into a recognized leader in anti-piracy, license compliance, and software-related legal services.
