Specializing in Intellectual Property

The firm has extensive experience in obtaining intellectual property protection for U.S. and foreign clients. The firm is also experienced in obtaining and facilitating patent and trademark protection in the U.S. and internationally.

The firm has expertise in a wide-array of technical disciplines. For instance, we have helped clients obtain U.S. and international protection for innovations relating to RFID tags, circuit design, semiconductors, optical network transceivers, printable ink, flash memory, agricultural equipment, and solar concentrators.

Logos, packaging, manufacturing processes, and products are just a sample of the many areas where a company should seek intellectual property protection, but probably do not realize it. Are you unsure what intellectual property protection your company needs? We can help you identify your intellectual property and develop an intellectual property protection strategy.

Patents

Patents protect inventions and improvements to existing inventions. In the United States, a patent grant excludes others from making, using, or selling the invention.

We routinely prepare and prosecute patent applications for U.S., European and Asian based clients. In addition to obtaining patents in the United States, we also have extensive experience in helping our clients obtain patent protection in countries around the world, including Korea, China, Japan, Europe, Taiwan, Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Mexico and Brazil. We also offer patentability, non-infringement and invalidity opinions.

Not only do we help clients protect their innovations, we also help them to obtain value for their innovations. The firm is experienced in drafting and negotiating Technology Transactions and Licensing Agreements.

Trademarks

Trademarks and service marks include any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination, used, or intended to be used in commerce to identify and distinguish the source of goods and services. A trademark registration can provide an exclusive, nationwide right to use the mark in connection with the identified goods and services.

We have experience in handling all aspects of trademark registration. The firm is capable of handling state and U.S. trademark registrations as well as facilitating trademark registrations in foreign countries.

Copyright

Copyrights protect original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium, including literary, artistic, architectural, computer software and musical works.

The firm is experienced in obtaining Federal copyright protection for our clients and in evaluating fair use of copyrighted materials.

Informal Dispute Resolution

We are experienced in helping clients resolve patent, trademark, trade secret, contract and licensing issues without resorting to litigation or formal alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

Intellectual Property Litigation

Sometimes disputes arise regarding intellectual property. When that happens we can help you pursue and defend your rights in state and Federal court on issues relating to patent, trademark, copyright, trade secrets, and unfair competition.

Internet and Domain Names

The firm is experienced helping its clients address the wide array of intellectual property issues which may arise concerning trademark, trade dress, copyright, DMCA, cybersquatting, and other Internet-related issues.
