In addition to comprehensive client services, our attorneys help your managers make the best IP decisions to meet both your short- and long-term goals. We share our knowledge through seminars and training sessions, portfolio maintenance advice, and the refinement of docketing systems.
Our attorneys use their technical knowledge, training, and commercial experience to form patent review committees. These committees save our clients time and money, while assuring that their new developments receive the proper legal protection.
With Foley's IP Department, you also receive the benefit of Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR). For many disputes there may be more effective methods of resolution than traditional litigation. ADR can significantly reduce the costs and burdens of litigation and offer resolutions not available in court. We discuss beforehand the availability of ADR procedures so you can make an informed choice concerning resolution of a dispute.
