You need a practical, cost-effective intellectual property (IP) strategy that achieves the goals of your business. We collaborate with you to develop and implement your strategy, through the registration of IP rights, commercialization, enforcement, and protection of your IP in the jurisdictions where you need it. This leaves you free to get back to the field, the lab, or the prototype, and the next brilliant idea. It is important to have experienced counsel to help as you negotiate confidentiality agreements, license agreements and IP purchase-and-sale agreements. We also provide advice on disputes, litigation, infringement and enforcement of IP rights.
IP covers patents, confidential information, trademarks, copyrights, and industrial designs. It includes information, technology and any know-how that is not registrable but is nonetheless protectable.
IP rights apply across industries and sectors and include both the tangible and intangible:
Equipment and process improvements and designs
Ideas not yet reduced to practice
Software, automation, and computer-based systems
Know-how around making and operating improved equipment and processes, and
Brands and marks that provide goodwill, and "trade dress" that can be used to a competitor's advantage
