Computers, Electronics & Software

We understand that companies wishing to remain competitive must continuously innovate. As the capabilities of computing devices and the complexity of systems increase, companies must continuously integrate new features and functions with existing product lines, which can produce an array of patentable inventions. We help clients to devise successful strategies to protect potential and existing commercial and industrial products and solutions.

Our attorneys have experience with a variety of software types, from operating systems and user interfaces to a variety of consumer and industrial application programs. We are experienced in the prosecution of software patent applications and have counseled clients on validity and infringement of software patents in many diverse fields. Further, we have implemented copyright registration programs in the United States and have advised on international protection of software.
