Your invention and your business require an intellectual property approach as unique as your ideas. Our patent counseling services are crafted to cater to each business and its needs.
Non-infringement Opinions
Whether someone is infringing on your product can be tricky! If you suspect that another party is infringing on your product or idea, an infringement or a noninfringement opinion could help decide your next steps in enforcing you intellectual property rights. Additionally, if you have received a letter that claims that you have been infringing on the intellectual property of another party and want to ensure that the claim is legitimate, our attorneys can assist with that as well!
Freedom to Operate Opinions
If your company is launching a new product and is worried about potential legal repercussions, obtaining clearance for your business can secure you the confidence to move forward without looking behind your shoulder. A freedom to operate opinion offers the analysis of our attorneys regarding whether your product infringes on the intellectual property of anyone else and can provide you the security necessary to confidently move forward with your invention or idea.
Invalidity opinions
Validity and invalidly are not always as clear cut as we would expect them to be in the realm of intellectual property. Whether someone is asserting a patent against you, you are contacted by a patent troll and believe the patent never should have been granted, you invented a drug formulation and want to have it listed as generic in the orange book, your patent is being attacked, or are buying a patent portfolio and want to ensure that a patent is valid, validity opinions can provide a level of reassurance that your intellectual property plan is sound. Our experts can serve as a level of assurance that you need to confidently pursue or maintain your intellectual property rights.
Due Diligence for Patent transactions/acquisitions
When acquiring or purchasing a patent portfolio, it is recommended (and just generally a good idea) to do some investigation into the portfolio, so that you can make an informed decision prior to the deal closing. Performing due diligence can be the difference between investing in a lucrative patent portfolio or making a costly financial decision. The team at MG Miller can assist in vetting and assessing the quality of a patent portfolio that you and your team are considering acquiring, saving you the stress of taking a financial gamble. Save yourself the risk and allow our attorneys to guide you through the analysis of intellectual property portfolios!
IP strategy recommendations
Having intellectual property is important for new and developing businesses, especially those in importance sectors. Defining the Intellectual Property strategy and roadmap of your business is an imperative first step to ensure that your ideas and work is uniquely yours and embedded in your company. Our attorneys at MG Miller recognize that each company has different intellectual property needs and want to work with your company to ensure that you have access to the compilation of services that work best for you.
IP Licensing strategy
Licensing your intellectual property rights allows you to monetize your idea without the requirement of producing and selling your product. As you develop your intellectual property portfolio, licensing your ideas can be an attractive option and can increase the ability of your company to grow its business, recognition, and explore new ranges of products and industries.
