At Chan Law Group, intellectual property is our most sought after practice group. Our lawyers think creatively, work resourcefully, and produce effective results. Your actual creation or invention, or other form of intellectual property is the first step in productive innovation. The next step is ensuring that you have the legal protections established to protect your rights to your individual personal property. These legal tools will also allow you to effectively utilize or sell your property while protecting the invention and your interests. We partner with technology, growth and entertainment business enterprises to effectively leverage their intellectual property after gaining an intimate understanding of our client’s marketplace, competition and business objectives.

Strategic Leveraging of Intellectual Property Assets

We begin by understanding our clients’ business and identifying critical intellectual property so that our clients stake out an effective competitive position. We conduct searches and review prior and competing patent, trademark, domain name, and copyright which have been registered by competitors. We develop the most cost effective strategy to leverage the intellectual property assets by using cutting-edge legal practices. To ensure our clients have full title and rights in the targeted intellectual property, we review agreements with employees and suppliers to ensure the ownership of the intellectual property is vested in the clients. We work closely with our clients’ development and design teams to navigate around competitors’ intellectual property. When designing around is impractical, we identify prior competing owners and negotiate with the rights owners to buy out the title and all rights in the IP, gain license, seek consent, and enter into co-existence agreements.

Patent Attorneys

Our patent attorneys have specialized backgrounds and particular experience in the areas of life science, medical devices, electronic, software, aerospace, communication, internet, business method, furniture, beauty, toy, home decoration, financial services, and real estate. Our attorneys have advanced degrees and previous experience as a senior examiner with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. We endeavor to understand our client’s market and product cycle in order to secure the most critical patent with the broadest scope which will be at the forefront of the product and technology trend. At the same time, we identify the areas in which the technology may evolve and attempt to legally block the path of the development of competing technology or business methods. We review the technology landscape and provide freedom-to-operate opinions to guide clients away from potential landmines. Our patent lawyers draft patent applications not just to get them registered, but to make them appealing to buyers and licensees, and to pass muster with the courts and jurors. We have successfully obtained patents for entrepreneurs, UCLA professors, scientists, physicians, engineers and Fortune 500 companies.
