Patents

At the law offices of INTELLECTULAW™, a patent law firm with offices in in Mt. Sinai, New York, and practicing both nationally and internationally, we work in partnership with select clients to use the patent laws of the United States, in a manner that most impacts their income and quality of life. We combine our extensive knowledge of and experience with patent matters with the information our clients provide us during an exploratory meeting to create comprehensive strategies that focus on the needs of our clients. We believe that the most appropriate solutions result from direct communication with our clients, preferably in face-to-face meetings, and provide to our clients the most control. Contact us to schedule an exploratory meeting to discuss your patent needs.

What is the law of patents?

The law of patents, a constitutionally granted right, is found in 35 USC § 100, et seq. The statute identifies the requirements that must be met in order for a patent to issue. It also specifies how a patent owner may stop the infringement of a patent, once the patent is issued by the U.S. Patent Office.

In essence, a patent is a contract between the inventor and the U.S. government. In exchange for the issuance of the patent, the inventor agrees to publicly disclose everything he or she knows about the invention. By issuing the patent, the government grants the inventor the exclusive right to make, sell, or use the invention covered by the patent. This allows the inventor to legally prohibit others from using, making, or selling the patented invention.

What can INTELLECTULAW™ do for me?

At INTELLECTULAW™, after an exploratory meeting with you during which you will share with us information regarding your goals, values and objectives, both personally and professionally, we will use that information to structure a strategy to help you achieve those goals through the proper management of your inventions and the implementation of the law of patents in a manner that makes the most sense to you. The result is that you will be more in control of the results you seek in connection with the protection of your intellectual property, than with any other approach.

Such strategy can include:

• Advising on the patentability of an invention, whether a product or a process

• Conducting patent searches to determine in advance of application whether a product or process meets statutory requirements

• Preparing and filing patent applications

• Preparing licensing and sublicensing agreements to allow others to use patented idea for commercial gain

• Protecting against patent infringement through patent litigation

• Defending against claims of patent infringement through patent litigation
