Intellectual Property
The
Hurley Stanners' IP Department has over thirty-nine years of experience
counseling clients, on any and all IP issues arising in the US and
abroad, including patents, trademarks, licensing, copyrights, trade
secrets and unfair competition. We advise our business clients on how
patents and trademarks can set a client apart from the competition, and
how an IP portfolio can protect and add to clients assets, as well as
provide additional revenue for some businesses.
Our
technical experience ranges from medical devices and chemical
combinations to electrical and mechanical inventions. Our engineers and
attorneys also have experience in business methods, computer processes,
aeronautics and telecommunications.
In conjunction with
helping clients acquire additional intellectual property, we help
clients license and enforce their IP in this competitive environment.
We believe that the strongest IP portfolio is one that can also
generate an income for the client. As an additional service, we monitor
and analyze the IP that competitors may have, and utilize on-staff and
third party engineers to help design around identified IP problems, or
negotiate license agreements, when appropriate.
For our
business, real estate and entertainment clients , our IP Department
will also help protect the client's brand for the business, a product
or a service through the registration of trademarks. We can advise
the best approach to take to afford the client's goals. Here our
understanding of a client's business and goals through our day to day
representation will allow us to provide a strategic approach to
trademarking and patents.
