Portfolio Evaluation
Do you have intellectual property assets that can protect your competitive position? Let’s take a look at the intellectual property that you own and the intellectual property that you can obtain and compare that to your product plans and financial goals. There are a variety of types of properties, each subject to rules on contracts, timing, what can be protected, and the protection that is available.
Product Evaluation
Do you have a new launch or initiative? Are you concerned about new entrants to your market? Let’s assess that new product or plan. There may be property that you do not know you have or property that you think that you have but don’t. Let’s make sure that you have or can get the intellectual property that covers that product or plan.
Trademark RegistrationDo you have branding for your business? Let’s look at the product strategy and make sure that the protectible marks are treated right and registered in the right jurisdictions.
Copyright Registration
Do your plans include original works of authorship? Whether verbal, pictorial, sculptural, software, or some other type of work, let’s make sure that your body of works is given the right care before and after they are created.
Patent Procurement
Do you want a patent in the United States or in some other jurisdictions? Let’s look at your ideas and your timelines and develop a plan that makes sense for you. With options like design, utility, provisional, international, PCT Direct, patent prosecution highway, Track One and more, it is not always obvious how best to start and how best to finish. There are US patents, foreign patents and international patents.
Licensing Agreements
Do you know someone who wants to take your intellectual property to market, any market? Let’s discuss the deal and how to structure it. We can negotiate any deal, big or small, domestic or international, together, such as patent licenses, know-how licenses, data rights licenses, software licenses, shrink-wrap licenses, trademark licenses, and more.
Development AgreementsDo you know someone with the talent or resources to develop part or all of your idea to reality? Let’s put together non-disclosure, independent development, joint development, work-for-hire, or technical consulting or services agreements.
Other ServicesLet’s bring experience and discernment to bear on any technology law problem.
