Intellectual Property

In this increasingly competitive environment, the Firm recognizes the importance to our clients of having patents that are not vulnerable to competitors' challenges. Therefore, our clients expect and receive the full attention of our knowledgeable, technically-savvy professionals, who guide them through the entire patenting process.

The major focus of the Firm's practice is in obtaining patents, trademark and copyright registrations and providing effective licensing negotiations and associated counseling. The Firm's patent practice is directed primarily toward clients engaged in technological areas, such as the biotechnology industry and pharmaceutical arena (pioneer or generic), internet, medical devices, and a variety of mechanical systems and devices.

In addition to these traditional legal services directed to securing intellectual property protection, the Firm also renders legal opinions for both offensive and defensive purposes. For example, we provide advice to clients who are preparing to invest in new businesses, products or technology, on the strength and the scope of the intellectual property assets involved. In that regard, we also assist with evaluation, analysis and preparation of legal opinions on the patentability of inventions, validity of patents, non-infringement opinions, and freedom-to-operate or clearance opinions.

The Firm also provides general counseling on intellectual property issues at every stage of the product life cycle, including for example, litigation, licensing, contract and other matters which involve intellectual property law. For example, clients seek input from us early in the product development stage to be informed of the intellectual property landscape before they make substantial development investments. We also assess the activities of our clients' competitors and advise clients so they can determine whether to assert their rights against those competitors.
