We offer a comprehensive patent practice within a full-service Intellectual Property group. We have the capabilities to file, register, prosecute and litigate patents on a global basis.
All of our patent attorneys are registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Each has at least one technical degree; many have advanced degrees. These attorneys work with our patent agents, paralegals, and staff scientists to provide high-quality, cost-effective protection.
When working with our clients, we commonly look beyond the immediate goal of patent application and take a global perspective as we balance the risks and benefits of various levels of protection and evaluate how patent coverage integrates with the client’s business needs. As clients' businesses and IP portfolios evolve, we work with them on the technology transfer side as well, to correlate their own growing IP portfolios with processes for "licensing in" the rights of other patentees, or "licensing out" their own patents to others.
