The firm represents companies, universities, labs, and individuals in connection with the strategic procurement, enforcement and licensing of patent rights in all areas of technology. The firm also frequently works with investors and acquiring companies to assess the patent assets and liabilities of target companies. The firm's patent procurement services include drafting and prosecuting patent applications, conducting patentability searches and developing strategies for maximizing the benefit of a patent portfolio. The firm also assists clients in identifying and prioritizing patentable inventions and in establishing company procedures for managing a patent portfolio. We also employ as necessary, patent agents, in order to draft patent applications and to conduct patentability searches under the supervision of a patent attorney. The prosecution of a patent application requires extensive discussions with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). Besides submitting written correspondence, we strongly recommend meeting personally with Patent Examiners in "interviews." If necessary, the firm also conducts appeals before the same Board or the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
