The attorneys at STRAUB & POKOTYLO have experience spanning the spectrum of intellectual property law. Preparing, procuring, and maintaining patents and trademarks, both in the United States and abroad, forms a significant part of our legal practice.

Our Patent Practice:

Patents are challenging to prepare -- both the relevant law and the technology must be well understood. STRAUB & POKOTYLO believes that recognizing and understanding the legal issues requires a firm grounding in the relevant statutes, rules and case law. It also requires a sensitivity to issues and challenges that arise when a patent is litigated. Given our experience, we can prepare well-crafted patent applications, at very competitive prices. Given our relatively low overhead, we can take the time to understand our clients’ needs and new technologies while remaining cost-effective.

Our Trademark Practice:

Although preparing a trademark application generally involves less work than preparing a patent application, competent searching and clearance opinions preceding trademark preparation is often crucial. STRAUB & POKOTYLO has experience in searching databases of registered and pending federal trademark registrations, as well as working with search companies which have access to more extensive databases (including federal and state trademark records, sources which may indicate potential common law trademark rights, and Internet domain names). After analyzing the results of any searches commissioned, if the trademark is clear, we can then prepare, file, and prosecute the trademark application. We can also maintain existing registered trademarks.
