What We Do

Practice Areas

Eight core verticals spanning the two disciplines that matter most to founders and businesses: building the company, and protecting what it creates.

Trademark Registration & Brand Protection

End-to-end trademark strategy — clearance searches, class selection, filing, prosecution and opposition — so your name, logo and tagline are legally yours before a competitor gets there first.

Patent & Copyright Advisory

From software and creative works to inventions and designs, we guide clients through copyright registration and patent application and prosecution — building a defensible IP portfolio around what they've actually built.
