Ober|Kaler's Intellectual Property Group includes engineers fluent in various technologies including software, electrical, mechanical, chemical, and biotech. By combining this technical knowledge with our comprehensive experience in patent law, plus a dose of good business sense, we are able to help clients with the array of technical, business, and marketing issues surrounding new product launches, licensing and the defense of patents. Having successfully filed thousands of patent applications, both domestic and foreign, our attorneys' experience extends to both domestic and international markets. R&D is a collaborative effort, and we maintain the collaboration through the patenting process believing that clear goals and a mutual strategy at the outset are the key to a satisfied client. We proactively avoid infringement problems with early patent searches that give clients and investors confidence. We also provide competitive intelligence, routinely conducting state-of-the-art searches that reflect the evolution of a given technology over time. We further assist clients by implementing in-house employee patent incentive programs for early identification and protection of new technologies and for encouraging employee innovation.
