Preparation
Surveying the market for opportunity and risk
Patent preparation goes well beyond drafting and filing a patent application for your invention, and includes: determining if your invention is likely to be patentable; helping you decide whether to also protect your invention with other forms of intellectual property, such as industrial designs, trademarks, and trade secrets; and providing you with valuable information about your competitor’s patent portfolio and patent strategy. Our experience in filing in countries outside of the US and Canada helps plan your intellectual property spend.
Planning
Building a custom strategy to defend or assert your IP
A patent may be used as a sword to strike at competitors who are infringing your intellectual property, or as a shield to defend your company against attacks from competitors. We can help you build an offensive and defensive strategy. It’s important to have an IP roadmap.
Implementation
Guiding your intellectual property strategy
After identifying your IP, we will guide you by advising on filing jurisdictions, benefits and drawback of filing in particular countries, and the most cost-effective way of filing your application. Advantageously, Teitelbaum & Burk agents are registered to practice before the Canadian and US patent offices directly, without incurring the expense of a foreign associate for Canadian applicants. We have a great deal of experience working with patent examiners and understand both the US and Canadian patent filing systems.
