Services

Our Dallas Patent Attorneys understand the importance of protecting technology. Patents are key elements of an intellectual property
portfolio because patents confer the right to stop an unauthorized person from making commercial use of your invention. Our patenting strategies not only account for our clients' short-term goals, but also help ensure that our clients' long-term goals are accounted for.

Prior Art Searches & Patentability Opinions
Before your business invests in a patent protection strategy, take advantage of a variety of patent search services offered by our Dallas Patent Attorneys. For example, we offer our clients prior art or patentability searches before they make a significant investment in a patent protection strategy. We work with our clients to get the broadest scope of protection consistent with their budget and business goals. In other words, our Dallas Patent Attorneys play an integral role in making the most of our clients' product launches and in building and realizing our clients' long-term patent protection goals.

Patent Prosecution
Our Dallas Patent Attorneys offer a comprehensive range of patent prosecution and counseling services. Our services include preparation and prosecution of domestic and foreign patent applications. We have contacts with foreign firms to provide service in most major markets around the globe. Where feasible, we draft applications on a flat fee basis.

Patent Litigation and Related Proceedings
Our Dallas Patent Attorneys are experienced in enforcing patent rights through patent infringement lawsuits and are equally experienced in defending against claims of patent infringement. That experience includes final resolution through trial in federal court and arbitration with the American Arbitration Association.

Patent Licensing and Cross-licensing Agreements
Our Dallas Patent Attorneys negotiate and enforce licensing agreements on behalf of our clients. Our Dallas Patent Attorneys are experienced in negotiating and enforcing a number of different licensing agreements such as, for example, technology and know-how licenses, non-exclusive licenses, exclusive licenses, patent and technology cross-licenses, and field of use licenses. Patent Due Diligence and Compliance Related Matters Patent due diligence investigations are generally conducted in conjunction with in-house reviews, investments, and acquisitions. Depending on the nature of the transaction at hand, our Dallas Patent Attorneys initially collaborate with the interested third party to develop a customized IP due diligence plan for our client that is consistent with the nature of the investigation. Typically, a patent due diligence plan includes an assessment of patents, patent applications, and potential patentable innovations of a target company and an independent investigation of each property's potential liabilities, potential weaknesses and strengths, logistical information (filing dates, expiration dates, maintenance fees, assignment records, etc.), prosecution history and related prior art, ownership information and inventorship.
