IP STRATEGY
Some of the most important assets that a company can own are its intellectual property. Whether you are a start-up or emerging company, Cloutier Ortega can help you develop an intellectual property program and strategy. If you are a later stage company Cloutier Ortega can help you assess, strengthen, and monetize the intellectual property that you already own.
PATENTS
Patent law is an extremely complex and specialized area of law. It is important to contact a Registered Patent Attorney early in order to ensure that you do not inadvertently relinquish potential patent rights to your invention in the U.S. or abroad, or infringe on someone else’s patent.
