Subject Matter Conflicts and Restrictions on Practice
Subject Matter
Due to our representation of government agencies, universities, publicly traded
companies and research centers
we decline representation for matters
involving:
- adult entertainment industry;
- tobacco products;
- non-military weapons;
- combat sports; or
- any other industry adverse to the mission or
objectives of our current clients.
Restrictions on Practice
We only practice intellectual property law which includes:
- patents;
- trademarks;
- copyrights; and
- trade secrets.
Ancillary to these are licensing agreements, non-disclosure agreements and
evaluation of IP assets for merges and aquisitions. Our practice is
focused on intellectual property and we do not engage in areas of the law
outside our core competency.
Corporate Entities
It has been our experience that patents and trademarks are virtually
always best owned by a corporate entity. Therefore we strongly
encourage and sometimes require our clients to be a corporation.
Corporate formation
is easy, relatively inexpensive and offers a host of legal and tax)
advantages.
