Patents

Getting a patent for a product design can be a very complicated venture. Experienced attorneys at Strategic Legal Counseling will guide you through the entire process until your design achieves the broadest and strongest protection under the law.

ALL PATENTS ARE DONE BY EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS WITH ENGINEERING DEGREES. STRATEGIC LEGAL COUNSELING DOES NOT USE PATENT AGENTS OR PARALEGALS. WE ONLY USE PATENT ATTORNEYS WITH PATENT LITIGATION EXPERIENCE.

The patent process involves:

1. an initial meeting at your laboratory or design facility so that our attorneys fully understand your design and properly answers all the questions of your design team;
2. a complete patent or prior-art search to determine whether your design is unique enough for a patent;
3. drafting a complete patent application with drawings and any other back-up information; and
4. responding to all Office Actions and negotiating the terms of the patent with the patent examiner until the patent is issued with the broadest and strongest protection.

Trademarks

Trademark applications may seem simple but can, in fact, lead to invalidity and liability if filed improperly. For example, one of our clients wanted to use a trademark that was already registered by another company. To attain registration for our client, we launched a legal challenge of the validity of the existing trademark on grounds that it was improperly filed and used in the marketplace. Our challenge resulted in the cancellation of the existing registration leaving the other company without a trademark and making way for our client to attain registration and potentially seek infringement action against the other company.

ALL TRADEMARKS ARE DONE BY EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS. STRATEGIC LEGAL COUNSELING DOES NOT USE PARALEGALS. WE ONLY USE TRADEMARK ATTORNEYS WITH TRADEMARK LITIGATION EXPERIENCE.
