We bring to the table more than 17 years of experience in drafting patent applications in a wide variety of fields, including chemistry, pharmaceuticals, engineering, and medical devices. Our goal is to think strategically by writing the application so that it will protect the invention in a way that best fits in with your business model and to write tactically by writing the application in order to obtain the broadest possible protection for the invention that you actually want to protect.
Filing the initial patent application is only the first stage in the process of obtaining a patent. At some point, you will have to file a patent application in every jurisdiction in which you will want patent protection, and you have to be prepared to receive objections and reservations from patent examiners that you will have to answer in order to obtain a patent. Because each jurisdiction has its own laws, rules, and peculiarities, you will want to rely on the services of a patent attorney with wide experience in patent prosecution in different jurisdictions. We have wide experience in patent prosecution from filing to grant in a wide variety of jurisdictions including Israel, the U.S., Europe, China, Japan, India, and Australia
To fully protect your IP, you may want to protect the aspects related to branding. These include design patents, which protect the ornamental (non-functional) appearance of your invention, and trademarks, which are words, phrases, or symbols that ensure that a purchaser can be confident that the source of product that he is purchasing is its original inventor. We can help you design a strategy for protecting these aspects of your invention as well, and to see you through from concept to legal protection.
Before writing the patent application, it is usually a good idea to obtain an overall picture of the relevant “prior art” (known technology that may be relevant to the patentability of your invention). We have extensive experience in performing searches of the prior art and preparing professional opinions regarding the likelihood that your invention will be considered patentable.
An important question for anyone who wishes to manufacture or market an invention in a particular jurisdiction is whether it is possible to do so without infringing an existing patent. Even if an invention is patentable, it is possible that its manufacture will infringe an existing patent. We have extensive experience in preparation of “Freedom to Operate” opinions in which the scope of protection of relevant patents is compared with the invention that you want to manufacture or market (with or without its own patent, e.g., for marketing of generic drugs) and the likelihood that manufacture or sale of your invention will infringe the patents is assessed.
In mergers and acquisitions, the target company’s patent portfolio is an asset whose value must be taken into consideration. We can help you in your due diligence by providing an assessment of the value of a patent portfolio.
