We are committed to comprehending our clients’ products, processes and services in the context of their industries. We achieve this end in part through the unmatched educational backgrounds of our attorneys – 95 percent have technology and/or science degrees (many with advanced degrees) in such fields as electrical engineering, physics, computer science, mechanical engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, and life sciences. In addition, the legal ability, training and experience of our lawyers enables us to design and implement legal strategies to protect innovation essential to the health of those businesses. We help clients identify the appropriate form or forms of protection for their assets, whether it be patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, licenses, or a combination of these. We protect the value of these assets in court and at the United States International Trade Commission, and we defend clients against claims by others.
