The McIntosh Legal Group provides services for clients seeking counsel in the field of intellectual property. Our attorneys have the capability and experience to handle traditional patent, copyright, and trademark issues.
A meaningful patent strategy creates and maintains a company's value by protecting its market position. Most patent attorneys simply prepare and file patent applications as instructed by inventive staff, with no discussion regarding how the patent will benefit the company's business. The McIntosh Legal Group has a non-traditional approach to patent protection. We take the time to fully understand your business plan and design an effective strategy geared toward your success in the marketplace.
The McIntosh Legal Group has over 30 years experience in drafting patent claims in all areas of technology. We are also knowledgeable regarding recent patent rules governing "business methods". These rules allow companies to protect their innovative business models and work processes.
The McIntosh Legal Group is available to assist you in determining what type of proprietary protection is best suited for your company. We are experienced in patent searching, preparing patent applications, and patent prosecution in most areas of technology.
Although effective protection begins with patent strategy and procurement, economic benefit begins once technology is marketed and commercialized. The principals of our firm have over thirty years experience in entrepreneurial technology commercialization, and have been involved in all facets of technology transfer throughout much of the world.
Due to our depth of experience and knowledge with the many issues that determine the form and content of technology-based agreements, the McIntosh Legal Group can assist you with the preparation and negotiation of matters such as:
Patent litigation is a very expensive proposition, and the outcome is often of major consequence to the parties involved. The McIntosh Legal Group has the experience and insight to help you manage the patent process to a favorable result. We will work with the right litigation team and help them devise and implement a case strategy that maximizes your chances of success, while controlling costs. We can work toward posturing settlement while the litigators maintain the pressure.
Protecting market share and business opportunity many times goes beyond simple patent protections. Any good strategy should also look to protect branding, public image, and marketing materials. We can help you incorporate trademark and copyright protection into your overall strategy for protecting your intellectual property and counsel you in these matters, as well as perform trademark availability searches and registration procurement.
