procurement

Sophisticated businesses have come to recognize the importance of protecting the products, services and markets that they have worked so hard to develop. For this reason, the foundation of our firm is domestic and foreign patent procurement in the fields of electrical, chemical and mechanical engineering, physics, chemistry, biology and computer science.

We provide legal services to companies of varying age, size and technology. This gives us the technical, legal and business experience that is crucial to understand a client’s technology, identify invention and construct a patent portfolio that enhances the value of the business without losing sight of the client’s other priorities.

Though U.S. patents can offer broader scope and are often more straightforward to obtain and enforce than those of other nations, companies with overseas activity must assess international patent protection as they develop their overall strategy. To ensure that clients fully comprehend and exploit global opportunities, we know today’s international patent strategies and can procure the foreign patent rights to support them.

In addition to patent procurement, we pursue domestic and foreign trademark registrations. We also bring to bear significant expertise in the patent, trademark, software and trade secret licensing and litigation support that keeps a client on track and in business.

Counseling

An enlightened company’s intellectual property strategy extends beyond merely frustrating the competition. Many day-to-day issues necessarily involve intellectual property considerations. We have significant experience clearing the way to practice in a given technical field, dealing with assertions of infringement by others and ensuring that confidential information and copyrights are defined and secure.

The surest way to achieve smooth business operation is to automate. Understanding this, we have developed systems for identifying, protecting and exploiting a company’s ideas on an ongoing basis so management is reassured that its vital interests remain safe. Our expertise ensures that the systems we recommend are consistent with both mission and organization.

We can also teach inventors how to recognize patentable invention in their work and in the work of others and give inventors basic information regarding intellectual property by providing seminars or one-on-one inventor or management counseling as appropriate.

Strategic Support

Today’s competitive business environment demands that companies pay close attention to long term strategy, so they can anticipate future opportunities and threats, rather than merely react to them.

To date, questions regarding a company’s strategic technical direction and proprietary position have been widely regarded as separate and unanswerable. However, thanks to a new level of perspective and analysis that has only recently become available, clear answers are now possible. For the first time, a company’s technical direction and intellectual property position can work in tandem, resulting in a significant increase in the company’s worth.

We work hand-in-hand with management and strategic business planners to support the assessment of a client’s technology, position in the market, opportunities for new products or services and growth or exit strategy. The objective is to produce an integrated business, technical and intellectual property plan that gives the client purpose and direction and brings value to current or potential investors and purchasers.
