STARTUPS, SMALL BUSINESSES & INDEPENDENT INVENTORS 

Attorneys you can actually talk to. Free consultation. We are there for you, on your side, when you need us. Email us.

Start-ups and independent inventors are the engine of the global economy. Patent, trademark and copyright protection will be critical to your success, but there are so many potential pitfalls.

Maybe you are a doctor, mechanical or software engineer, or a scientist with a clever idea of how to improve on a system or device you already use. Maybe you are a golfer, fisherman or a truck driver who has come up with an idea with great market potential. Maybe you are a university professor with a highly complex scientific invention that requires PhD level knowledge just to understand it, and you what to know if it's patentable (and if your employer owns it!). Or maybe you have an internet or Amazon business, but have a big problem with copycat sales or trademark infringement. These are all real-life examples of clients we help. 

See our Services page.  One fee might cover everything you need.

Have you selected a TRADEMARK yet? Picking the wrong trademark is both very simple and totally disastrous.

Are you paying a CONTRACTOR to create code or content for a website? Do you know that you probably do NOT own the copyright of the work you are paying to have created? If you have asked someone to create something, and that person is not an employee and you do not have a "work-for-hire" agreement, then that person, not you, owns the copyright. We can fix that.

​

Litigation: Yes, we do that too. We can review your case and tell you the probability of a successful outcome in court, but always try to resolve disputes before they get to court.

 

Corporate and legal matters: We provide a full range of services for corporate, business and matters (but not tax advice).

Helping our VETERANS. We work continually with veterans' groups providing support for veteran-owned start-ups.

 

Are you helping to mitigate CLIMATE CHANGE? We have reduced fees, and even do pro-bono work, for organizations trying to save our planet.
