Patents

You may own intellectual property as the result of your own creativity, the innovative work of your employees, assignments of IP, agreements with affiliates, acquisitions, and the like. No matter how these intellectual assets become your property, it is critical that they be protected so that their use is exclusive to you or your organization. Patents are often a crucial tool for protecting your innovative ideas. The patent process is complex, and even if navigated with skill by a practitioner, the resulting patents may not provide as much protection as expected. With many years of experience handling all aspects of patent law, including experience at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Rooney IP understands how to help our clients establish and maintain robust and exclusive market positions through creative patent strategies.
