Our focus is always on the business needs of our clients and in creating strong underlying IP assets that increase the value of their companies, grow market share, provide revenue streams and build patent portfolios that are both defensive and offensive to successfully keep competitive products from entering the market. Patents are important business assets, and may represent the only marketable asset of a client when a single technology provides the foundation of a business. We work closely with clients such as Nokia, Canon, IBM, Gerber and W. L. Gore to help achieve their business objectives within the marketplaces in which they compete.
Because the firm takes such a comprehensive view of the patent process, we are skilled in both portfolio evaluation and management. We work with inventors from the time they need preliminary patentability opinions through the preparation of applications and all phases of the prosecution process. We look at an entire patent portfolio and routinely help clients balance their needs with the costs required to obtain necessary protection. Do they want to license a collection of patents, enforce them and hold onto them for future use? Over-wide or scattershot patent prosecution is both costly and wasteful; we apply our international experience to help clients identify what to patent, the countries in which to obtain patents, and schedules for portfolio review.
