Corporate Patent Services: It is not always cost-effective or appropriate to employ an in-house patent attorney. Nevertheless, high-tech companies need the array of services that a skilled corporate patent attorney can provide; services that most law firms are not positioned or qualified to offer. As outside counsel, we work with corporate and engineering management to formulate a patent strategy tailored to meet business objectives. We skillfully identify patentable technology so as to develop a valuable strategic patent portfolio. We also provide patent program management, including in-house educational and motivational seminars for employees and management on Patents and Intellectual Property, as well as specialized programs on Engineering Notebooks, Patent Review Board Leadership, and Trade Secret Protection. Our corporate and technical background enables us to work efficiently with engineers, talking with them in their own language. Our success in this area has resulted in significant added value to our corporate clientele.
Patent Preparation and Prosecution: An effective patent strategy requires consistent follow-through after identifying strategically important patentable technology. Skillful patent preparation requires knowledge of corporate business objectives and product markets. Further, a technically astute patent attorney can create patent claims far broader than the scope of the original invention, while stimulating the engineer to greater creativity in the patent disclosure process. This results in far more valuable and useful patents that add value for either offense or defense, thereby better contributing to greater stock value, greater licensing value, attracting investors, and deterring competitors.
