Services:
Fitch, Even, Tabin & Flannery recognizes that extracting significant value from intellectual property assets is important to business success. Exposed to so many facets of intellectual property law and related business practices, we are adept at counseling clients on how to secure and exploit IP rights in a manner that is aligned with the business objectives of the enterprise. We help our clients develop comprehensive IP protection plans that take full advantage of utility and design patents, trade secrets, trademarks, trade dress, domain names, copyrights, and other forms of intellectual property.
Fitch Even also helps organizations maintain internal practices and policies that maximize the return on intellectual property investments while minimizing the risk of unwanted legal disputes. We can perform competitive portfolio assessments and provide strategic guidance for addressing competitors' intellectual property rights. When a potential dispute does arise, we offer sophisticated risk analysis and counseling regarding available dispute resolution mechanisms and strategies. We also regularly conduct independent audits of IP assets and related documentation to help identify opportunities to enhance the value of those assets through sales, licensing, or commercial exploitation.
Many small and midsized clients rely on Fitch Even as their primary IP legal counsel, and so we frequently advise technical and business management personnel directly. We are also accustomed to working closely with in-house general and patent counsel to support their critical role within the organization.
