The Technology sector is driven by new ideas. And startups stake their very existence on them. Small companies compete and grow based on the strengths of their innovations. Large companies devote tremendous resources to the development of new products and solutions to drive profitability and shareholder value.
All of it needs protecting—functionality, look, feel, and language—making intellectual property the most valuable asset of many companies.
Woods Oviatt Gilman protects your knowledge with its own by using its unprecedented experience in Intellectual Property law to defend your valuable intellectual investments and assets by securing and enforcing patents, trademarks, and copyrights. We help clients in a variety of technology categories navigate applications through the complexities of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and uphold client rights when disputes arise.
