PATENTS The Firm’s Patent Practice includes the handling of utility and design patents. We cover a variety of arts that include the electrical, chemical, manufacturing and material sciences. We have prepared and prosecuted applications for patents in areas such as mechanical objects, quality assurance procedures, manufacturing methods, chemical objects and processes, chemical compositions, board games, explosive devices, motor vehicle apparatuses, medical and dental instruments, and gear activated devices, among others. Our skills in patent prosecution are tempered by trial experience. Having stood before juries, we recognize the need for a readable patent. We understand that if a jury does not understand a claim, then the value of the patent decreases. We prepare and prosecute patent applications domestically and internationally. Our patent prosecution practice covers:
As experienced jury trial lawyers, we draft patents with a jury in mind. We understand the difficulty of drafting patent applications over complicated arts with claims that can be understood by the typical juror. We know that if the jury doesn’t understand your invention and can’t read your claims, your patent value decreases. We identify the core of your invention, and we protect it. We help clients develop and execute patent strategies, from the preparation and filing of patent applications to appeal, reexamination, reissue and interference. We provide freedom-to-operate opinions, non-infringement and invalidity opinions, intellectual property due diligence, and support for mergers and acquisitions. We counsel clients on how to exploit their patent assets, including negotiating and drafting licenses and other contracts. We handle an array of patent needs. Our attorneys help clients obtain, maintain, and enforce patents. Additionally, we assist clients with patent prosecution and enforcement strategy, portfolio management, and evaluation of a competitor’s patent position.The following is a sampling of patents that our attorneys have drafted and prosecuted to patent issuance, with hotlinks courtesy of Google (R) Patents:
