Areas of Practice
What we do
Our Practice Areas
Patents
Full-service patent practice for inventors, startups, and established companies. We prepare and file utility, design, and provisional patent applications in the United States and coordinate international filings. Our engineering background lets us draft claims that genuinely capture the invention across electrical, software, mechanical, and signal-processing technologies. We also handle patentability searches, freedom-to-operate studies, validity and infringement opinions, responses to examiner rejections, appeals, and post-grant proceedings.
Trademarks
End-to-end brand protection: clearance searches, federal and state registration, international filings, and ongoing portfolio management. We monitor for conflicting uses, handle opposition and cancellation proceedings, send and respond to cease-and-desist letters, and negotiate coexistence and licensing agreements. We help clients build brand strategies that scale from a single mark to a global portfolio.
Copyrights
Copyright registration for software, written, visual, audio, and audiovisual works. We draft and negotiate licensing agreements, assignments, and work-for-hire contracts, advise on fair use and platform compliance, and help clients respond to infringement claims. We have particular depth in software copyright, open-source licensing, and content licensing for digital platforms.
Trade Secrets
Trade-secret programs that actually hold up: identification and classification of protectable information, internal policies, employee and contractor confidentiality agreements, onboarding and exit procedures, and access controls. We help clients respond to misappropriation claims, prepare enforcement strategies, and protect confidential information during mergers, joint ventures, and partner negotiations.
Computer & Internet Law
Legal infrastructure for software and online businesses: software license agreements, terms of service, privacy policies, data-protection compliance, vendor and reseller agreements, domain disputes, and platform liability counseling. We help technology companies launch and scale without getting caught off-guard by legal exposure.
AI Law
Specialized counsel on the legal questions emerging around artificial intelligence: ownership of AI-generated output, training-data licensing and risk, model deployment and indemnification, open-source AI compliance, regulatory developments, and IP strategy for AI-driven products. Our engineering background — including neural-network architectures and signal processing — lets us engage with the technology, not just the headlines.
Aviation & Aerospace IP
Patent prosecution, portfolio strategy, and litigation support for flight systems, avionics, propulsion, and satellite technology — led by an engineer who worked on the YF-22 Raptor flight computer. We handle invention harvesting, U.S. and international patent filings, freedom-to-operate and validity opinions, trade-secret programs, and licensing for aerospace startups, component manufacturers, and research teams.
