Patent Lawyer Long Island, NY
Patents are issued by the government. A patent owner receives specific intellectual property protections, including the exclusive legal right to make, use, or sell the patented invention for 20 years. Patents are granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office following a successful application. The process is lengthy, highly detailed, and complicated
Working with our Long Island patent lawyer can avoid delays and ensure that all paperwork is completed accurately. For example, our firm obtained Patent NO 10,305,849 for our client in under three years. It was issued outright and in less time than it usually takes to get an initial review.
In addition to handling all aspects of applying for a patent, our intellectual property attorneys assist with patent enforcement, litigation, and licensing. As a patent holder, you can enter a licensing contract permitting a specified company the ability to sell your invention. If they violate the terms of the agreement or another entity uses your patent without permission, you have the right to pursue civil litigation. Our attorneys can represent you through this process, from filing cease and desist letters to representing you in trial. If successful, you may be entitled to compensation for the misuse of your patent.
Why Experience Matters in Patent Cases
Your ideas are valuable. We help protect them. Securing a patent is difficult, requiring extensive legal knowledge, detailed paperwork, and exhaustive research. Managing it on your own will likely result in unnecessary delays or a denial. Investing in skilled legal representation is an investment in your future. You need a lawyer who is not just versed in intellectual property law but who is also a registered patent attorney.
