Catalyst Law Group

The firm's patent procurement services include drafting and prosecuting patent applications, providing patentability and noninfringement opinions, and developing strategies for maximizing the benefit of a patent portfolio. Our attorneys routinely assist clients in identifying and prioritizing patentable inventions and in establishing company strategy for managing a patent portfolio.

The prosecution of a patent application requires extensive interaction with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Members of the firm frequently conduct telephonic and personal interviews with Patent Examiners on behalf of clients as well as submitting written correspondence.

In addition to having technical and legal degrees, many of the firm's attorneys have previously worked as engineers, developers or scientists within their respective fields.

We handle the foreign intellectual property matters of our domestic clients through a worldwide network of foreign attorneys and agents. The firm has established close relationships with foreign practitioners and can call upon experts in a particular country to promptly service the firm's U.S. clients' needs. To further support a global approach to the practice of intellectual property law our attorneys actively participate in many of the leading international intellectual property law organizations.

The firm also has many clients in foreign countries and provides for them its full range of intellectual property law services throughout the United States. Our international clients come from a diverse set of countries, including the European Union, Israel, Canada, Republic of China (Taiwan), Japan, and others.
