Procurement of patent rights is a staple of our business, including the drafting of patent applications and their prosecution before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We also have extensive experience handling patent applications internationally with the help of lawyers in non-U.S. countries with whom we have developed relationships over the years.
We emphasize clarity in the procurement of our clients’ patent rights. While the technology involved in a patent may be complicated, we believe that patents should be as well organized and as readable as the subject matter will allow. This is important to solid patent protection, as well as client satisfaction.
We work to ensure that IP protection procured will meet a client’s business goals, and advise clients to recognize and protect inventions of importance that might otherwise be overlooked. We can assist with instilling corporate procedures to review inventive activities of its employees, and can provide IP training of employees and management.
We provide patent litigation support, and have extensive litigation and courtroom hearing experience to assist with legal research, brief writing, claim construction issues, discovery, jury instructions, and appellate work. Such experience is informed by judicial clerking experience at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit—the appellate court responsible for hearing appeals in patent infringement cases and in administrative determinations from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Our combined litigation and patent office practice extends to adversarial procedures and hearings at the USPTO, such as ex parte patent appeals, and various forms of post-grant review, including reissues, reexaminations, inter partes reviews (IPR), and covered business method reviews (CMB).
Our hands-on experience with patents supports our transactional practice, including:
