When inventors create a new device, one of the first things they should do is to obtain a patent. A patent is a grant of property rights by the U.S. government through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent prevents others from making, using, or selling the invention in the U.S.
An experienced patent attorney can help inventors protect their inventions. Dickinson Wright’s Intellectual Property Group has experience in all aspects of patent practice, including:
- filing and prosecution of patent applications
- patent license negotiation
- litigation of patent infringement claims
- patent infringement analysis
- maintaining patent rights worldwide
- assertion and defense of patent rights
In addition, Dickinson Wright is one of the only firms in the U.S. to have its own Intellectual Property Academy, in which we produce high quality patent applications quickly at an affordable rate, while training law students to become patent attorneys. The Academy training results in expert patent preparation attorneys in our Michigan and Washington, D.C. offices.
