Design for Protection
We help our clients develop, expand, and enforce design portfolios that support strategic business objectives. Our team has extensive experience managing global design portfolios for large and medium-sized clients, filing patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and coordinating international design strategies and filings with foreign associates.

Our full range of design services enables clients to strengthen their overall patent portfolios both in the U.S. and around the world.
Members of our team:
