Building or Acquiring Your IP

A company is nothing but its IP.  Veteran executives understand that intellectual property is the core essence of a company.  In order to compete in the marketplace, a company must build the necessary competitive IP or acquire it.  The quality and quantity of these assets, in combination with your ability to protect and to strategically deploy them, will determine a company’s success or failure.

We are prepared to put our intellectual property expertise to work for you in all aspects, including:

• United States patent prosecution
• International patent protection strategy
• Legal opinions with respect to patent infringement
• Trademark and copyright registration
• Acquisition, development, and licensing of intellectual property
• Intellectual property audits and due diligence
• Litigation of all types of intellectual property infringement and unfair competition matters

We are experienced in developing the necessary protective procedures in order to ensure the coverage of your intellectual property.  We will work with you to develop the suitable proprietary rights program for your patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.  This includes everything from trademark protection, patent strategy, a patent development program, employee agreements, contractor agreements, and confidentiality agreements.
