Cooley's Patent Counseling & Prosecution practice provides sophisticated patent services to technology clients in a wide range of industries, with recent and growing depth in the various fields of clean technologies. We help clients formulate and implement effective intellectual property (IP) development and protection strategies, overseeing their interests in a variety of business transactions and educating them on the overlapping and complementary relationships between patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets.
When necessary, we coordinate with other Cooley attorneys from our Emerging Companies, Venture Capital, Mergers & Acquisitions, Technology Transactions, and Intellectual Property Litigation practices, providing seamless, team-oriented service. For example, we work with the Intellectual Property Litigation group to develop and execute patent enforcement strategies for clients seeking to enforce their patent rights or who are accused of violating the patent rights of others. Depending on the claims to be asserted or defended, we evaluate various issues such as relevant product lines, the appropriate scope of patent claims, available validity and infringement positions or defenses, design alternatives that avoid infringement and licensing alternatives.
