Patent Services

Efficiently protect your IP with our strategic patent services.

IP Portfolio Audit and Record

Intangible IP often creates definition and ownership uncertainty. We identify, scope, and record each IP asset to provide visibility and control in IP development. This simple foundational exercise is the first step to establishing an operational IP portfolio and strategy.

Knockout, Prior Art, or Patentability Search

Patentability is a complex issue and our patent professionals are here to assist. Our expert analysis satisfies funding and investment due diligence and avoids abandoning valuable opportunities by distinguishing your technology over identified references.

Applications and Prosecution

Patents should be a value add, not a legal spend. From initial filing through grant (and beyond) our IP professionals leverage Oziel Law’s visibility of each client's corporate and IP operations combined with tailored IP landscapes & competitive intelligence to optimally position applications.
