Our firm assists clients with the procurement, acquisition, and licensing of intellectual property rights and in preparing and prosecuting patent, trademark, and copyright applications in the United States and abroad. In addition to filing applications for intellectual property protection, we assist clients in the development of effective strategies for protecting, managing, asserting, and defending their valuable intellectual property assets.
Through professional experience, we understand the importance of recognizing and protecting the value of new innovations. We are highly experienced at aligning intellectual property procurement with the business directives of companies both large and small, and we help our clients to establish rights in their innovations so that they may realize the full value of their contributions to society's progress. Our technological specialties include pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, chemistry, electronics, software, physics, acoustics, and nanotechnology. We have a far reaching network of international associates that work in parallel with us in order to procure any intellectual property asset in virtually any jurisdiction throughout the world.
