Protecting your ideas, taking them from imagination to reality, is the paramount goal of our law firm. Patents are an essential part of that and protect an inventor’s technological creations, whether a start-up or a big company.
The patent system gives the inventor legal rights to their inventive idea, an exclusionary right to prevent others from infringing on the invention.
VIP helps you protect your inventions through the preparation, drafting, filing and prosecution of a patent application to issuance of the patent right from the U.S. Patent Office.
In this effort, we overcome the many possible challenges along the way, including novelty, obviousness and other patent requirements by working with the inventors early on and throughout the process.
Whether a provisional patent application (short term to get the right on file), a utility patent applications (covering working ideas), or design applications (covering ornamental designs), VIP will help you secure the patent protections you need for your innovation, and help you take that idea to the next level: licensing and leveraging.
