SERVICES

We are a full-service IP firm with the expertise and experience to meet – and often exceed – the expectations of our clients.

COUNSELING AND LEGAL OPINIONS

We partner with our clients to formulate creative and flexible plans of action that maximize value by coordinating business objectives with domestic and international intellectual property strategies. Our insightful advice on the available options for protection and utilization of IP enables our clients to make well-informed decisions and build formidable IP portfolios.

“We provide both offensive and defensive strategies when counseling our clients.”

We provide both offensive and defensive strategies when counseling our clients, including identifying potentially enforceable developments, licensing, and enforcing IP rights to stop infringement at the earliest stages. Our patent attorneys, skilled in various technologies and experienced in the nuances of the patent and business environment, provide our clients with comprehensive opinions on issues such as freedom to operate (clearance), patent validity and infringement.

We also conduct thorough due diligence studies relating to intellectual property issues, including value and strength of patent portfolios, ownership issues, litigation prospect evaluation and other encumbrances.
