Intellectual Property

Strong patents are often among an inventor’s or venture’s greatest assets – and are critical to protecting inventive concepts. Whether in the earliest stages of development and trying to gain access to markets, actively building a patent portfolio around core technology or positioning to monetize a portfolio through license or sale, we work closely with clients to learn their business, understand their short- and long-term goals, and develop strategies to achieve their objectives.

We counsel inventors, startups and emerging companies, public and private companies, and universities in the full scope of patent procurement, from drafting and prosecuting applications through patent issuance and maintenance in the U.S. and worldwide. We craft successful applications that build strong portfolios and withstand challenges. For clients involved in business transactions and contested matters, we prepare opinions as to patentability, validity, enforceability, infringement and overall risk analysis.
