A full intellectual property practice for technology clients.
From semiconductor inventions and to cutting-edge wireless, software, networking, mechanical devices and manufacturing processes, the firm applies decades of experience in U.S. and international patent practice. Capabilities include patentability searches, preparation and filing of patent applications worldwide including the PCT, representation in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and validity and infringement searches and opinions.
The firm manages trademark portfolios for clients, and files and prosecutes trademarks in the U.S. It also has longstanding relationships with associate intellectual property firms worldwide to expedite filing and obtaining foreign trademark registrations. The firm is also experienced in defending its clients' trademark rights through trademark oppositions, cancellations, and concurrent use proceedings.
The firm guides the creators of original materials including software, websites, books, music, art and dramatic works through the copyright registration process. A copyright provides exclusive rights to reproduce, adapt, publicly distribute, publicly display, and perform the copyrighted work.
Competitively sensitive information such as business processes, customer lists, and certain technological advances may be best protected by keeping them secret. The firm helps its clients identify and inventory its trade secrets and determine the best method for protection.
In addition to performing specific work such as patents, we advise clients on their rights, obligations, planning, and internal management of intellectual property assets — including freedom-to-commercialize searches and opinions; licensing, consulting, confidentiality, joint development and employee agreements; selection of new product names and trademarks; and design-around of competitors' patents.
