02 — How a portfolio gets built
From disclosure to
protected asset
An IP portfolio is assembled, not bought. Each layer is a decision about what to claim, where to file, and what to keep secret.

Three practices, one strategy
Patents
Our firm is a leader in patent law. Our team of highly skilled attorneys can help you build a portfolio of patents, enforce your patents, and defend against patent assertions.
Trademarks
Trademarks are an important asset for your business. We are here to guide you in proper use and protection to maximize investment in your brand. We will also be your brand defender.
Trade Secrets
Trade secret protection is an important aspect of your business and legal strategy. We can help you implement the right documents and agreements with employees, subcontractors, customers, and suppliers to ensure your IP rights are preserved.

07 — Reviews
What clients say
Delivering more than a handful of patent filings for us under strict time and budgetary constraints, they far exceeded our expectations. They provided invaluable, timely advice, and worked tirelessly to meet their promises.
They are responsive, reasonable, and bring focus on our business needs rather than rigid legal guidelines. This is not surprising given their backgrounds in both private-practice firms and in-house work.
He created all the contracts for my software company and provided invaluable legal advice. I particularly appreciate his attention to detail and ability to easily explain complicated legal concepts.
