Patents: Patents grant inventors exclusive rights to their inventions, providing protection against unauthorized use, manufacture, sale, or importation by others. Our patent attorneys specialize in drafting and prosecuting patent applications before patent offices worldwide, ensuring that our clients’ inventions are adequately protected and strategically positioned in the marketplace. We provide strategic advice on patentability, infringement risks, and patent portfolio management to help clients maximize the value of their inventions and innovations.
Trademarks: Trademarks are distinctive signs, symbols, or logos used to identify and distinguish goods or services in the marketplace. Our trademark attorneys assist clients in selecting, registering, and protecting their trademarks to build brand recognition, reputation, and consumer loyalty. We conduct trademark searches and clearance reviews to assess availability and minimize the risk of conflicts with existing trademarks. We also represent clients in trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings and enforce their trademark rights against infringement and counterfeiting.
Copyrights: Copyrights protect original works of authorship, including literary, artistic, musical, and audiovisual creations, from unauthorized copying, distribution, or adaptation. Our copyright attorneys advise clients on copyright protection strategies, registration requirements, and licensing agreements to maximize the value of their creative works. We represent clients in copyright registration proceedings and enforcement actions against infringement, piracy, and unauthorized use of copyrighted materials.
Trade Secrets: Trade secrets are confidential information that provides a competitive advantage to businesses and is not generally known to the public. Our attorneys assist clients in identifying, protecting, and managing their trade secrets through confidentiality agreements, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), and trade secret protection programs. We provide guidance on safeguarding trade secrets from misappropriation by employees, competitors, and other third parties and represent clients in trade secret litigation to enforce their rights and seek remedies for misappropriation.
Commercialization: Maximizing the value of intellectual property assets requires effective commercialization strategies that leverage their potential for revenue generation and market expansion. Our attorneys advise clients on licensing agreements, technology transfer agreements, franchising arrangements, and other IP commercialization transactions. We negotiate and draft comprehensive licensing agreements that define the scope of rights, obligations, and royalties associated with the use of IP assets. We also provide ongoing support for IP monetization efforts, including IP valuation, due diligence, and portfolio optimization.
IP Portfolio Management: Managing a portfolio of intellectual property assets requires careful planning, maintenance, and optimization to align with business objectives and market dynamics. Our attorneys work with clients to develop customized IP portfolio management strategies tailored to their industry, competitive landscape, and growth aspirations. We conduct IP portfolio audits to assess portfolio strengths and weaknesses, identify opportunities for expansion or divestiture, and provide recommendations for portfolio optimization, enforcement, or monetization.
IP Due Diligence: Assessing intellectual property assets is essential for evaluating the potential risks and opportunities in corporate transactions, mergers, acquisitions, and investment deals. Our attorneys conduct IP due diligence reviews to identify, evaluate, and analyze IP assets, rights, and liabilities. We assess the legal status, validity, and enforceability of IP assets, review licensing agreements and royalty streams, and analyze potential infringement risks and litigation exposure. We provide comprehensive due diligence reports and strategic recommendations to support informed decision-making and mitigate IP-related risks in transactions.
