The law firm has much to offer industrial and corporate clients seeking patent, trademark, service mark, domain name dispute resolution, or other intellectual property transactions or legal advice regarding intellectual property rights including the following:
U.S. Patents We have particular experience obtaining and evaluating patents for semiconductors, electronics, optics, scientific instruments, medical devices, manufacturing tools, mechanical devices, biotechnology, telecommunications, Internet-related technologies, and software.
Trademarks A consultation with an experienced trademark attorney may help new businesses avoid infringing on others' trademarks, service marks, and company names. The best time to do a company name clearance, a trademark search, or a service mark search is before putting resources into marketing.
Licensing & Agreements Discuss your company's licensing needs and related legal matters including employment agreements, joint development agreements, nondisclosure agreements, and licenses that will enable owners of patents and trademarks to capture value from intellectual property by way of royalties.
Foreign Patents The intellectual property attorneys and patent agents of the Law Offices of Schneck & Schneck are particularly experienced at prosecuting foreign patent applications. We work with a worldwide team of associates to protect patents worldwide.
