Drafting, filing, and prosecution of patent applications with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is a primary service. I delight in my ability to customize and collaborate on this service to fit your individual patent project needs. I also provide:
Patentability Studies: A review of the existing state of a technology to determine the likelihood that your idea will be patentable.
Patent Clearance Studies: A search and review of existing US patents to determine significant infringement risks for a planned product or service.
Infringement Opinions: An in-depth review and analysis of specific patents to determine their relevance to a particular product or service.
Trademarks are a powerful tool for protecting some of your company’s most valuable and intangible assets – such as brand equity. I can help file a trademark application or assist you in a trademark clearance study.
My process and expertise makes finding the appropriate legal strategy simple. I offer general counseling to help identify issues and determine the appropriate legal strategy with the goal of avoiding pitfalls when possible, as well as cost-effective litigation management. My focus is on corporate law and intellectual property.
Full service packages are available on a very limited basis for businesses contemplating the creation or expansion of an in-house legal role. These packages are designed to provide many of the same advantages, at a significant cost savings and are offered in two variations – intellectual property counseling, and general business counseling.
