Formal infringement, validity, and enforceability opinions

The firm’s founder has authored numerous formal non-infringement and invalidity opinions relating to patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret matters, for a wide array of clients, across a broad array of industries, for years.  Opinion projects require a serious commitment, on the part of both attorney and client, to analyzing, in some detail, one or more important client products or services, and one or more specific intellectual properties of interest, and the opinion should be written with the expectation that it may someday be produced in litigation.

At the conclusion of the engagement, both attorney and client tend to win: (a) the client benefits from the confidence imparted by the opinion and the potential impact the opinion may later have in litigation; and (b) the attorney benefits from the greater long-term understanding he or she obtains regarding the details of the client’s business and marketplace environment.
