The office serves a wide range of clients including corporations, universities, research institutes and start-ups active in the spheres of chemistry, biotechnology, physics, communications, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and drugs.
Our clients also include start-up companies holding one or more patents, where we participate in the development of their business strategy (primarily from a research & development perspective). Occasionally, we may join a company’s Board of Directors to give our input on the intellectual property value as a natural extension of the firm's involvement in our client's patent development.
Clients generally turn to us as an IP boutique specializing in specific technologies at the stage of initially defining long-term market needs, or at the stage of invention. In many cases we assist the company throughout its R&D lifecycle, which allows us to keep a pulse on which types of legal defense the client will be entitled to and when. In other cases, we represent potential buyers of technology, and in these cases we deal with more mature products with proven track records of success in the market (and in court).
Our aim is to further our clients' overall business and intellectual property protection strategy and to take broad actions that further their goals. To this end, we conduct novelty, validity and state-of-the-art patent searches; invalidity and non-infringement investigations and analyses; assess IP valuation and provide an international protection strategy, including preparation of patent applications, prosecution before patent offices worldwide, maintenance and enforcement of patents trademarks and designs.
