Our attorneys are actively engaged in every critical area of patent law, from patent licensing and enforcement to litigation and global portfolio management. With former in-house counsel and registered patent attorneys on our team, we serve as trusted advisors to universities, research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and other businesses looking to protect and profit from their intellectual property assets.
We help clients analyze and draft patentability, validity and freedom-to-practice opinions; negotiate consent and licensing agreements for domestic and international patents; and provide custom, in-house training support for technical and marketing personnel. We also monitor and police the patent activities of our clients’ competitors and defend or pursue infringement claims in U.S. and international forums.

Areas of Focus
Our attorneys regard patent counseling and portfolio management as paramount to the execution of a cost-effective patent strategy. To help clients maximize the return on their patent investments, we employ a thorough, selective and business-focused approach to both patent application filings and the development, budgeting, and maintenance of our clients’ global portfolios. Our patent attorneys also advise on implementing procedural guidelines and cross-referencing systems to facilitate the disclosure and evaluation of new inventions. We are equally adept at conducting R&D and manufacturing audits to identify patent-related assets with significant commercial value. Once identified, we work with clients to implement commercially effective strategies for protecting those assets.
From pharmaceutical and consumer products to medical devices and electronic payment platforms, our patent prosecution experience runs the gamut. We help many of our clients evaluate the patentability of new inventions and execute effective strategies to protect those inventions in both the U.S. and internationally. In patent litigation, our team provides an uncommon advantage because many of our experienced litigators are also registered patent attorneys. We draw on our technical savvy and cross-industry experience to help clients successfully defend or prosecute patent infringement claims of all kinds and complexities.
