Historic inventors like Edison, Ford and Bell relied on our intellectual property laws to launch companies that are now household names. However, those IP laws are complex and ever-changing, even more so on an international scale. We know them cold. We want to make them work for you. Put our 30+ years of experience in all aspects of intellectual property law to work.

We have a unique background that combines legal, business and technology education and work experience. We’ll gain an understanding of your industry and technology, give you an overview of our world, listen to your goals and be your sounding board, and then get to work. Whether you seek an issued patent or an overarching market-driven intellectual property strategy, we will work with you to acquire, commercialize and enforce your intellectual property, as well as to avoid infringing the intellectual property of others. We never forget that our success depends on yours, and we honor your trust with excellence.

Think and Grow Rich, the mantra that explains this country’s entrepreneurial spark for the last two centuries, holds true only if we can own what we think up. Otherwise, why waste the time? That is why we have intellectual property. However, there are many different types of intellectual property and many complex laws for each. To coin another well-known mantra: “if you snooze you lose.” Throughout this website, you can get it all in a nutshell, hopefully in a way you can remember. To best do that, look at IP as a toolbox with four different tools to maximize success of each project: patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret.
