Patent Applications
A patent is an exclusive right granted by the government that allows inventors to prevent others from making or selling their invention without permission for up to 20 years from the date of filing (subject to payment of maintenance fees). A successful patent application requires careful drafting by an experienced attorney who understands both the legal requirements as well as technical aspects involved in describing your invention accurately so that it can be distinguished from prior art (i.e., existing technology).
At Christopher J. Van Dam's law firm located in Miami Lakes & Hollywood Florida area , we have extensive experience in drafting and prosecuting patent applications across a wide range of technologies, including mechanical, electrical, chemical, biotech and software. We work closely with our clients to understand their inventions and develop strategies that maximize the chances of obtaining broad protection while minimizing costs.
Trademark Applications
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of goods or services from those of others. Trademarks can be registered with the USPTO (United States Patent & Trademark Office) to obtain nationwide protection against infringement by others.
At Christopher J. Van Dam's law firm located in Miami Lakes & Hollywood Florida area , we have helped numerous clients register their trademarks with the USPTO. We conduct comprehensive searches to ensure that your proposed mark is available for use and registration before filing an application. We also provide guidance on how to use your mark properly so as not to lose its distinctiveness over time.
Patent Searches
Before filing a patent application, it's important to conduct a thorough search of prior art (i.e., existing technology) to determine whether your invention is novel and non-obvious in view of what has already been disclosed publicly. A well-conducted search can help you avoid wasting time and money on an invention that may not be patentable or may infringe someone else's rights.
At Christopher J. Van Dam's law firm located in Miami Lakes & Hollywood Florida area , we have access to state-of-the-art databases containing millions of patents worldwide as well as other sources such as scientific journals, conference proceedings etc., which enable us quickly identify relevant prior art references for any given technology area.
We also provide opinions on patentability based on our search results so that you can make informed decisions about whether or not pursuing a patent makes sense for your business goals.
Trademark Searches
Similarly, before adopting a new trademark it's important to conduct a comprehensive search for conflicting marks already registered or in use by others. Failure to do so can result in costly legal disputes and loss of valuable brand equity.
At Christopher J. Van Dam's law firm located in Miami Lakes & Hollywood Florida area , we conduct thorough trademark searches using a variety of databases and other sources to identify potential conflicts with your proposed mark. We also provide opinions on registrability based on our search results so that you can make informed decisions about how best to protect your brand.
Litigation
Unfortunately, even the most carefully drafted patents and trademarks can be challenged by others who believe they have a right to use or sell similar products or services. In such cases, it may be necessary to engage in litigation (i.e., lawsuits) to defend your rights.
At Christopher J. Van Dam's law firm located in Miami Lakes & Hollywood Florida area , we have extensive experience representing clients in patent and trademark litigation matters at both the trial and appellate levels. We work closely with our clients throughout the process, providing strategic advice on how best to achieve their goals while minimizing costs and risks.
