At Dawsey IP we strive to assist clients in obtaining patent protection that is as broad as possible, both domestically and internationally. A patent portfolio of broad patents can rocket emerging companies into leadership positions in industry, as well as provide established companies great leverage opportunities. Therefore, it is essential to select the right patent attorneys for your business.

While our practice centers on the prosecution and litigation of utility and design patent applications, we view counseling our clients as the most important step in obtaining protection for all intellectual property. Educating our clients on both the benefits and pitfalls of intellectual property decisions at each stage in the intellectual property’s life is paramount.

In addition to our patent prosecution practice, we offer many additional services to our clients to assist them in managing their intellectual property, including:

Is the patent thorough, is it creative? Most patent attorneys can accurately describe the basic components of an invention, but very few can creatively describe an invention and develop unique relationships among the components, which can dramatically increase the likelihood of having a patent granted. This is particularly important in very crowded fields (which most are). It should be a red flag if a patent application simply reads like assembly instructions for an Ikea dresser; today a bit more creativity is required. We love the challenge of trying to obtain patent protection on inventions that many would dismiss as unpatentable, however there is no doubt it involves more work and more financial investment. When a new product or service is so fundamental to your business that you simply must try to secure as much protection as possible, that’s where we shine.

It is important to understand the breadth of a US design patent by evaluating what is claimed, via solid lines, versus what is unclaimed, via broken lines. You obviously want protection that is as broad as possible and is directed to the unique design aspects that you want to protect. Review our sample US design patents, think about what is being claimed and what is being unclaimed. Does it seem that we have put our experience to work in carefully crafting these patents? I hope so. After all, you do not want a patent lawyer that simply has drawings prepared and files a design patent application because the scope of protection is likely to be much narrower than it could be, which means it will be easier for your competitors to design around your US design patent. We take pride in developing patent strategies, and explaining alternatives, to clients allowing them to make educated IP decisions that work within their budget and achieve their goals.
