Intellectual Property Protection:
Prosecution, enforcement, and strategic management of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets to safeguard innovation and brand value through customized legal solutions for businesses and creators.
Utility Patent Prosecution: Drafting, filing, and negotiating the scope of patent claims with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to protect how an invention works.
Design Patent Prosecution: Securing protection for the ornamental appearance of a product, rather than its functionality. This process includes preparing detailed drawings and responding to USPTO office actions to obtain patent rights over the visual design.
Trademark Prosecution: Filing and managing applications to register brand names, logos, or slogans with the USPTO. It includes handling refusals, oppositions, and legal arguments to establish and protect trademark rights.
Complex Work for Hire Agreements: Drafting agreements to clarify ownership of intellectual property created during a contractual relationship, typically ensuring the Client retains all rights. Complex versions may involve negotiation of detailed scope, rights, usage limitations, and jurisdictional issues.
Invention Assignment Agreements: Drafting and recording agreements with the USPTO that require employees or contractors to transfer rights in inventions they create to a company or organization. They are crucial for securing company ownership of IP developed during the course of work or under specific contractual obligations.
