Patents

Patents can help a business gain competitive advantage. You need legal advice from a team that understands the complex area of patent law, and the opportunities and risks that come with it. 

Patents can generate wealth for their owners. And can even become a business's most valuable asset. By securing a patent, you can prevent the unauthorized manufacture, use or sale of an original product or stop the unlawful use of a method or system you created. Or, you can license the right to manufacture, use or sell your patented product or to use your patented method or system in exchange for a fee. We'll help you protect and commercialize your inventions.

Whether your industry is software, energy, environmental, technology or pharmacology, our skilled patent lawyers can review your products and services and find opportunities for obtaining and enforcing your patent rights.

We can also help monitor the rights held by your competitors, minimizing the risk of unexpected conflict and litigation.
