Patent

Our patent attorneys collectively have decades of experience in all areas of patent law. Our patent attorneys are highly skilled in the strategic planning of a patent portfolio as well as in developing and implementing enforcement strategies. Our patent practice includes strategic counseling, prosecution of successful patent applications in complex technologies, patent validity and infringement opinions, patent licensing and transactions, due diligence in support of mergers and acquisitions, and patent litigation. Our patent attorneys possess broad industry and legal experience across many technology sectors including electrical, computer hardware and software, telecommunications, chemical, mechanical, pharmaceutical, biotechnologies, medical devices, energy, and semiconductors.

The patent prosecution and counseling practice includes working closely with clients from the earliest stages of technology development, offering valuable advice regarding protecting their inventions and new ideas in view of their business strategies. Our attorneys have extensive experience in drafting and prosecuting patent applications across a range of technologies and industries. We also provide opinions and counseling on patentability, validity, infringement, product clearance, and freedom to operate.

Our patent litigation experience includes litigation in U.S. district courts, International Trade Commission, Federal Circuit, and Supreme Court. We have extensive experience in all aspects of patent litigation, including patent litigation strategy development, claim construction, managing complex fact discovery, complex fact investigations, discovery, and trial strategy and preparation. Our litigation team has litigated cases across several technology sectors and in various jurisdictions. Our expertise also includes devising strategies for protecting intellectual property rights without resorting to litigation.

Our attorneys also strategically assist clients with reexaminations, reissues, supplemental examinations, and the new procedures under the America Invents Act (AIA) including Post Grant Review, Inter-Partes Review and Covered Business Method procedures.

The patent practice involves a diverse mix of clients ranging from start-ups to midsize and large corporations, and university and government entities. The depth of our attorneys’ experience coupled with our pragmatic business approach leads to cost-savings, reduced risk, and greater innovation for our clients.
