Service Patents

Strong patent rights are powerful business tools for emerging and established businesses — providing access to capital, attracting merger partners and acquisition opportunities, protecting investments and market share, and generating leverage against third-party patent rights. Kilpatrick’s internationally-renowned Patent Practice Group uses its legal and technical acumen to help clients develop, protect, and capitalize on one of their most critical assets — their patent portfolios. In the U.S. and overseas, we take a comprehensive and tactical, yet cost-effective, approach to help clients secure, safeguard, and promote patent rights to gain and maintain a competitive advantage. Our holistic practice helps clients identify and minimize infringement risks, as well as exploit opportunities involving patent rights, such as joint ventures, recapitalizations, mergers, acquisitions, licenses, and technology transfer agreements.
