Capture value of your technology and brand.

Intellectual property is how it’s done.

Intellectual property (IP) protection is what businesses use to define and protect their most important assets: technology and brand. These are protected using patents, trademarks, and other forms of IP.

We help with all aspects of patent and trademark law, including strategy, applications, post-grant (TTAB and PTAB), opinions, licensing, due diligence, and litigation.

CEO & Founder

We only practice intellectual property law.

Our mission is to be known as scary good at IP law, so that’s where we keep our focus.

Patent Law

Patents grant federal protection for eligible, novel, and non-obvious inventions. We are able to help whether you are seeking a patent, needing to enforce a patent, or needing to defend against a patent.

Patents applications are used to seek patents on inventions.

Opinions study the validity or infringement of existing patents.

We also help with litigation, opinions, and transactions involving patents.

Trademark Law

Trademark rights protect the consuming public from confusion as to the source of goods or services. We are able to help whether you are seeking a trademark registration, needing to enforce a patent, or needing to defend against a trademark assertion.

Trademark applications are used to seek trademark registrations.

Clearance searches study whether a proposed trademark is sufficiently different from existing trademarks.

We also help with litigation, opinions, and transactions involving trademarks.
