WL&P offers more than 180 years of collective experience.
To protect your valuable intellectual property, you need experienced attorneys and agents who understand your inventions and marks and the laws that give them value.
The partners of our firm have more than 180 years of combined intellectual property experience. Two-thirds of our attorneys have worked as examiners or supervisory examiners at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and many have utilized their expertise in industry. A number of our attorneys also hold advanced degrees in chemistry, biotechnology, biology, and applied and engineering physics.
While our primary focus is to obtain the strongest and most valuable patents and trademarks possible, our attorneys have broad experience in other important areas of intellectual property law, including copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition, technology transfer and licensing, use and registrability opinions, and semiconductor chip and maskwork protection. We are also routinely involved in patent interference, validity and reexamination and trademark oppositions and cancellations.
Collaboration between our attorneys and agents is an essential part of the service WL&P provides to our clients. Regardless of which particular attorney or agent is securing and protecting your intellectual property rights, you receive the benefit of our entire team of experts in both scientific and legal matters.
