Opinions
Cantor Colburn is routinely asked by our clients to provide opinions with regard to pending patents and patent applications. These opinions vary from validity, infringement, non-infringement, and clearance, freedom to operate, or right-to-practice issues, to ensure that our clients are able to navigate existing patent portfolios as well as enforcing their own patent portfolios. We provide a tailored and balanced approach to each individual client’s needs in order to avoid the unnecessary expenditure of time and money.
Many of our clients are industry leaders who entrust us with their patent opinion work, knowing that our focused approach supports their efforts to bring new products to market with minimal risk of infringement.
Training in a wide number of technologies gives our attorneys the insight and perspective needed to provide clients informed counsel. By combining legal experience with technical knowledge, they are uniquely able to generate opinions that align precisely with individual client business objectives.
