Securing
Intellectual Property
Our
goal in securing intellectual property rights for our clients is to
obtain the broadest and most effective scope of patent, trademark
(including service mark, collective mark and certification mark),
mask work and copyright protection available in the United States
and other countries, and ensuring that adequate procedures are in
place to protect, preserve and defend our clients' trade secret
rights as and where appropriate.
The
way we secure intellectual property, in the United States and
abroad, reflects our commitment to personalized service. We handle
each application as a unique part of our client's intellectual
property portfolio. Our foreign filing group ensures that each
application filed outside the United States receives the same care
and expertise as its U.S. counterpart, both within our firm and by
our network of highly skilled foreign associates. We work closely
with our clients to carefully prepare and prosecute patent
applications and applications for trademark, mask work and copyright
registration. In addition, we emphasize the value of personal
interviews with Patent, Trademark and Copyright Examiners to ensure
the desired coverage, and to streamline the application process.
