Patent Prosecution


Protecting your products, innovations, and inventions is critical to your future success. That’s why we help clients develop the legal tools they need to protect their valuable patents. From protecting new products from prying competitors to identifying conflicts and ways to mitigate them, we guide clients caught in a complex, and evolving, network of IP laws.

We Manage and Maximize Patent Portfolios of All Sizes

Whether your patent portfolio is big or small, we know how to identify key intellectual property, how to value it, and how to make sure that filings tie out to company operating plans. We also understand how to help you develop IP in a way that is cost-effective and minimizes the disruption for expensive engineers and in-house practitioners while keeping business needs in mind.


We provide an uncommon level of advice and guidance throughout the lifetime of a patented asset, from development and patent searches, to freedom-to-operate review and analysis, to pursuing and defending infringement claims and disputes.

We are committed to developing a deep understanding of our client’s business, enabling us to truly partner with them to determine and protect their IP rights. By working this closely with clients, we are able to see the "big picture," helping them achieve long-term goals while avoiding expensive missteps.

With advanced degrees in engineering, biology, chemistry, computer science and advanced technologies, our team offers insight and counsel that is scientifically sound and strategically minded.

Patent holders call on us for:

  • conducting patent searches, clearances and analyses;
  • rendering patentability, patent validity and patent infringement opinions
  • portfolio management;
  • preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications before the USPTO and coordinating patent efforts in countries throughout the world;
  • preparing and prosecuting e-commerce and business-method patent applications and evaluating potential threats against them;
  • preparing patent license agreements;
  • managing proceedings before the PTAB; and
  • pursuing and defending post-grant attacks on patentability before the USPTO.
