Patent Prosecution and Counseling

We assist our clients at every stage, from determining the patentability of an innovation and conducting a patent search through carefully crafting patent applications to ensure the broadest coverage and greatest protection. We regularly prepare and prosecute patents, facilitate worldwide filings, and strategize with clients on ways to build their IP asset portfolios and preserve their trade secrets. Working closely with our Corporate and Tax lawyers, we help clients maximize the value of their IP through tax-efficient, creatively structured corporate transactions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures and licensing deals. Further, we offer clients opinions on everything from patentability and invalidity to the effective use of litigation and Patent Trial and Appeal Board proceedings to preserve their IP rights and defend against infringers.
