Patent Prosecution
A patent is much more than a symbol of innovation; it is the spark that ignites and drives the engine of our modern economy and it provides the framework for business success. Our patent prosecution attorneys have experience in obtaining patents in every major technical field worldwide, including biotechnology, computer science, electronics, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology and mechanical engineering.
We excel in protecting your interests because we share the excitement of your innovations and develop your patent rights with a deep understanding of the myriad of laws, rules and procedures that change and evolve with advances in technology.
Our experience and insight into your needs enables us to obtain patents tailored to optimize your enforcement and licensing options. We are prepared to negotiate and obtain whatever licenses or agreements are required to protect your interests. In addition, our International Patent Group serves as a full-service resource for global companies by establishing, protecting and enforcing patent portfolios around the world.
