Service: Opinions
Establishing sound intellectual property protection is the crucial first step in maximizing the value potential of a new idea. How one leverages those protections in the real world to fully realize that potential is equally important.
Our practice includes attorneys with advanced technical degrees, attorneys who have worked as scientists, researchers, and engineers, and attorneys who have served as in-house IP counsel to businesses. This hands-on experience and our deep legal knowledge enable us to easily understand our clients' innovations and assist them in identifying areas of potential risk.
