Patent Attorney

A Patent Attorney is responsible for conducting exhaustive patent searches to determine the uniqueness and feasibility of clients' inventions. This involves evaluating existing patents, scientific literature, and technical documents to ensure their clients' innovations are novel and non-obvious. They prepare and submit robust patent applications to the relevant patent offices, meticulously detailing the invention's specifications while adhering to legal and technical requirements. Throughout the application process, they correspond with patent examiners, addressing any objections or rejections to secure patent approvals effectively. Additionally, Patent Attorneys provide strategic counsel to clients on how to protect their intellectual property, offering guidance on patentable subject matter, filing strategies, and potential licensing opportunities.

Beyond the application phase, Patent Attorneys play a pivotal role in the enforcement and defense of patents. They monitor for potential patent infringements and initiate legal proceedings to protect clients' rights when necessary. This includes drafting cease-and-desist letters, negotiating settlements, and representing clients in court or before patent appeal boards during litigation. They also advise clients on infringement risks posed by third-party patents and conduct freedom-to-operate analyses to navigate around existing intellectual property. Through these activities, Patent Attorneys ensure that clients' inventions maintain their competitive edge and provide long-term business value.
