Patent Analysis and Preparation of Patent Opinions

We are experienced in analyzing patents and preparing opinions regarding the infringement or non-infringement and the validity or invalidity of patents.

Patent Litigation

The firm represents both patent holders and accused infringers in patent litigation. The firm often counsels clients in the early stages of patent litigation, performing infringement and invalidity analysis of asserted patents and works with clients to develop non-infringement positions and respond to patent holders.
