A great idea, alone, is not a business. A patent portfolio, unmined or unmanaged, has no value. Your good ideas, unprotected, may be taken by your competitors.
Spruce Law's Intellectual Property attorneys can help you secure, protect, enforce, and manage your intellectual property portfolio. We can help you identify value in your company to drive up your valuations, or create revenue streams where none existed. When appropriate, our Intellectual Property attorneys coordinate with colleagues across our Corporate, Employment, Litigation, and Real Estate groups to ensure that the 360 degree needs of your business protection and asset optimization are in place. Spruce Law is truly your partner.
Building IP Value. We recognize that today's energy companies need to be nimble, able to respond to changes in the market in an efficient way, and to capture revenues. They operate in an increasingly competitive, highly regulated environment, in which a strong focus on details and the bottom line can mean the difference between success and failure. Whether you are an established entity and industry leader, a specialty energy company, or an early-stage start-up, you need responsive and experienced legal representation on which you can rely to provide the right advice and to complete critical transactions. We provide the creativity, ingenuity, attention to detail, and tireless drive required to minimize your risks and to get your deals across the finish line.
We can prepare and file patents, trademarks, and copyrights both domestically and internationally to expand your IP holdings.
IP Litigation. IP litigation is usually a last resort when two parties cannot reach agreement. Before you reach that point, however, there are many issues for which you may need advice. You may want to get opinions from an attorney that can potentially shield you from increased damages. Or you may want an opinion from your attorney to evaluate your case before you spend money in litigation. We provide such counsel and advice.
