Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and other IP Matters
When building a strong IP portfolio matters.
The foundation of any venture, start-up, or business is a strong IP position, including provisional patents, patents, trademarks, copyrights, or other IP. It is critical to protect your valuable IP by careful technical, legal, and business analysis.
Strong patents require clear descriptions that avoid jargon, define terms and cover various embodiments and alternatives. The invention must be clearly defined and claimed, so that neither examiners nor competitors can use incomplete or vague descriptions or claims to invalidate the patent.
The patent process begins with a clearly written patent application. This requires careful work and an understanding of both the patent law and the underlying technology.
In all situations this requires a carefully reasoned well thought out strategy that takes the competitive environment, your budget , and your business interests into account.
The same considerations hold true for other IP, such as trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
In addition to US Patent filings, I also file PCT and foreign patent applications, trademarks and copyrights. Other services included patent searches and opinions;sell, license or evaluate a patent; licensing contracts, infringement/non-infringement opinion letters and other IP matters.
