Intellectual Property Lawyers
What do Intellectual Property Lawyers do?
We, as intellectual property (IP) lawyers, specialize in protecting and handling cases related to the ownership of intellectual property resulting from mental efforts and intellectual labor, such as inventions, logos, and works of art. We work with patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. Our role involves providing legal advice and guidance to clients on a range of matters related to intellectual property, including drafting, negotiating, and interpreting agreements and contracts such as license agreements, non-disclosure agreements, manufacturing agreements, and supply agreements.
Furthermore, we may review a company’s innovations and inventions to determine whether they can be patented and assist with the necessary paperwork to obtain patents. We also provide legal support for franchising, distribution, and technology transfers. Overall, as IP lawyers, we are essential for individuals and organizations that spend their efforts innovating and creating new ideas and concepts, as we safeguard their work and help them put it to good use.

Business-Minded Lawyers
Our team of patent lawyers not only has legal experience, but also business experience. That makes us uniquely situated to turn legal advice into business advice and help business teams make the right next move.
Reasonable Rates
Our patent law firm treats clients as the first priority. We do not believe in performing unnecessary tasks or inventing work for a client’s file. Our patent attorneys do not have minimum billable requirements like those at large firms. Minimum billable hours for associates only leads to over-billing of clients. Our attorneys only do work that is necessary for a matter. We keep a reasonable billing rate for our attorneys.
Flat Fees
Our patent attorneys can also provide flat fee billing for transactional services. Much of our trademark prosecution work is done on a flat fee basis. For other projects, we can provide a quote for a flat fee once we have an idea of the size of the project and the tasks required. Flat fee billing is great for clients because they know in advance what the costs will be.
