My wife and I put off estate planning for years because it felt like such a daunting task—but we should have done it much sooner! Marco and his team made the process as painless as possible. They did a fantastic job explaining our options and guiding us through each step, while still allowing us to make the decisions that were best for our family. One of the things we appreciate most is their client care program, which gives us peace of mind knowing that as our situation changes, updating our trust will be seamless. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and highly recommend Marco and his team to anyone looking to secure their family's future. -Adam F.

Patrick Murphy is the best. I was summoned to a Magistrate Hearing. I had no idea what to expect or even how to prepare. Upon first contact with Patrick, he was extremely helpful. He explained the whole process to me, assisted with gathering the right documents and information, and answered all of my questions. On the day of the hearing, Patrick explained how the hearing would unfold and again answered all of my questions. Patrick is very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I highly recommend him for anyone who is in need of help with a magistrate hearing.

Atty Matt Karr is excellent. He spent the time to understand our need for a credit bypass trust. He explained the process in clear declarative English rather than legalese. I feel that his fee was very reasonable. He supported his documents with a video explaining everything so that I could replay it if I had questions. We spoke to other lawyers that charged more and some that charged less. It is very hard to compare prices like buying a car. I recommend that you meet with Matt before selecting an attorney. BTW trusts are his specialty not just another work product.

Attorney St Pierre represented me during a prolonged Workers Compensation case. I am a very independent person, and I found myself way out of my bailiwick. I knew I needed clear guidance. I was badly injured, undergoing multiple surgeries with loads of post op complications. In the end, I was forced to give up a career I loved.A career I spent 7 years in college working towards, finishing at the age of 51 just to get a chance to practice. Ron is a phenomenal attorney, he has the experience and expertise to win cases. He fought for me for the highest financial settlement possible and won. He also never forgot what I lost.

I scheduled a 30 minute free consultation. Marvin was 15 minutes late and rushed to end the phone call. The call lasted 8 minutes. Some of my questions were answered. At the end of the 8 minutes I had additional questions to ask. While I was mid-asking my questions, he ended the call. I completely understand time is money, but my purpose for this consultation was to ultimately determine if Marvin is the lawyer I plan to hire. If the intent were to have a 15 minute max discussion then why are 30 minute blocks available? Or, provide an email informing me of the shorten duration of allocated time. If 8 minutes were only available, then I would have rearranged my questioning accordingly. I dislike giving poor reviews in a customer centric environment because I have been there myself, but I felt like my call inconvenienced Marvin and I felt extremely undervalued.

Her handling of our personal preferences for last rites was particularly compassionate.

A few short years ago my company ran into an egregious trademark and copyright infringement. In reviewing local attorneys, I discovered Ms Straus had extensive experience in the field and hired her. Despite the complexity of the case, we achieved a resounding success and very quickly. We again ran into yet another similar infringement in the past couple months so I called upon Attorney Straus yet again. And again, in a matter of only a couple weeks she was able to shut down the violation and bring it to a quick resolve. Not only that, it ended up not costing me a penny. Should we find ourselves confronted with yet another ne'er-do-well attempting to steal our IP down the road, be assured we know who to call. I recommend anyone else do the same.

We decided to turn to Catherine with our copyright problem and have received an outstanding service every step of the way. Her experience and acumen were top notch, her communications with the opponents were sharp and on point. This was particularly important to us as the opposing party attorneys were set to drag the case much longer than needed.

I can't imagine a better lawyer to represent our company.

Working with Joe Simons was the best decision I made for my Federal case in California. A process that took over 3 years from start to finish Joe walked me through each process. Constantly working with the prosecutor to get me a better deal all the way down to Probation. Joe is up front and honest with you from the beginning on what to expect and that made each moment easier to handle. Even flying out to California multiple times I knew I was in good hands. Joe was always there to answer any questions and even after sentencing he is still helping with technical aspects of probation. I 100% recommend Joe Simons and his Law firm. They will have your back throughout the whole process.

I have a breach of contract case and need consult an attorney. I got Jill's name from google search via lawyer rating website. She called me back the next day and we talked over the phone for longer than I can expected (especially from an attorney). She analysed my case vs the potential cost to me. She is very caring and thoughtful attorney, different from the general impression I got for "attorney's reputation". I highly recommend her and definitely use her in the future.

Jill recently worked as my real estate attorney for my closing on a condo in downtown Boston, and I could not have had a more positive experience. Jill was pleasant, professional, knowledgable, and always prompt with her communication. Best of all, she was calm, level headed, and rational during an otherwise irrational experience. I would highly recommend Jill for any situation!

I had submitted an application as pro se inventor. The application involved complex concepts from mathematics, computer science and spreadsheets. I was initially concerned it would be very expensive and difficult to find an attorney with a background in the subject matter who would be able to help me so I decided to go it alone. After I received the first office action, I realized I needed professional help to deal with the USPTO. After some search I thought Dr. Hsuanyeh Chang’s scientific background and software experience would be a good fit so I decided to approach him for initial consultation and I must say I am glad I did. He was very responsive from the very beginning. Agreed to meet with me the next day on a weekend at a relaxed setting to go over what I have done. I was impressed by his intelligence, thorough understanding of the patent law, how the USPTO actually works, and most importantly his friendly character and professionalism. I decided to retain him to help me prosecute the patent and we have come a long way since. Dr. Chang has put necessary time and effort to understand the invention and drafted new eloquent and inclusive claims that have easily overcome prior art. After receiving second office action, I decided it was worth having in person interview for the opportunity to demo the invention and discuss remaining issues. I flew with Dr. Chang to USPTO offices in VA and we had a positive meeting with the examiner. It was a fun trip and it was certainly a pleasure to have Dr. Chang’s company. Dr. Chang responded to second office action diligently and hopefully we are nearing allowance. I have learned quite a bit from Dr. Chang during the process. He has also offered me valuable advice on other issues related to my startup company. If you are thinking dealing with the patent office is like dealing with a technical journal editor or referee you are wrong. It is a very different experience and requires different skill and know how. Selecting the right council from the beginning is critical for success. Dr. Chang is an inventor himself, an experienced attorney and a very nice and reasonable person to work with. I look forward to continue working with him for the long run and would highly recommend him.

Mr. Chang was very easy to work with. He was very knowledgeable with patent issues. I am a pro se inventor, however, I had certain claim rejections in my submitted patent. Mr. Chang was able to fix the error very quickly, and I was able to study the draft with still plenty of time to spare. Every email I sent to him was replied within the same day, sometimes in a matter of hours. The best part of rebutting my patent issues against USPTO, Mr. Chang was able to figure out certain key claims, which I have left out of the original claims. I thank Mr. Chang for his guidance and aid over my issues. Mr. Chang was also very knowledgeable with start up company issues. His encouragement over my invention is very much appreciated. I look forward to continue working with Mr. Chang in the future for other patent applications, etc. I will and have recommended his service to my business associates.

I've known and worked with Mike in the legal field for almost 20 years. We have been colleagues within the same law firms twice, and he has been my go-to outside I.P. litigation counsel all three times that I served as a General Counsel in-house. Mike is world-class high technology attorney, who brings to each of his clients a rare combination of excellence in I.P. litigation, intelligence in strategic I.P. management and licensing, and accessibility and responsiveness to the clients that he serves. He is equally comfortable and adept in the high-stakes, Fortune 100, multi-national litigation arena, as he is in the start-up, small company, single jurisdiction litigation setting, and brings valuable guidance to his clients in both of those settings. In all cases, he is able to keep overall client goals and needs in focus while deftly implementing the I.P. enforcement strategy and tactics that will accomplish those goals. I cannot recommend Mike highly enough.

Michael Renaud is my key patent strategy advisor here at Enterprise Systems Technologies, S.à r.l. and has been for more than 12 years as my career has progressed through several other companies, including Aprisma, Enterasys and Wal-Mart. Michael is my key advisor regarding patent acquisitions, licensing, enforcement and all other aspects of generating revenue from patent assets. He is the first person I call when I have a legal issue involving patent litigation whether on the defendants or plaintiffs side. I have reached out to him immediately after joining each new organization (and sometimes before making the final decision to move) to ensure I will have him at my side as I seek to make a significant impact early in my tenure. Together we have created a lot of revenue for my organizations, managed successful monetization programs and successfully defended infringement claims. He understands the market, is known for his business-like approach and is among the most creative and strategic attorneys with whom I have worked.

Having never worked with an attorney before, we had no idea what to really look for in selecting someone. But Hun Ohm came very highly recommended and from our very first meeting, we could tell we were in good hands. Now three years later, after working very closely with him on several detailed Intellectual Property agreements, I count my lucky stars every day that we chose Ohm for this work. He is everything you would want in an attorney. He works quickly. He catches every detail. He ensures that he is protecting your interests every step of the way. He was patient when we had many questions. He was also a joy to work with, as we very much appreciated his calm, grounded demeanor. I recommend him enthusiastically.

Working with Fierst Bloomberg Ohm LLP has been excellent. I've been their client for several years and I have never been left wanting for more responsive or thorough support. In cases where a question lies outside of their areas of focus they have referred me to others who can better answer my questions. I recommend their practice to anyone. Specifically, Hun has worked with me on our IP licensing contracts. He has a wealth of knowledge about what is common practice and is ethical and fair in his recommendations. It helps us to maintain a moral business while still protecting our financial future. He had great advice, therefore, on how/when to calculate recoupment of publisher costs. And he has had many creative solutions to write safety net protections for both developer and publisher so we can navigate negotiations.

What an Intellectual Property Lawyer Can Do for You

An intellectual property (IP) lawyer specializes in protecting the rights related to creations of the mind, including inventions, designs, logos, brands, artistic works, and trade secrets. IP lawyers help clients secure legal rights to their intellectual property, enforce those rights, and defend against infringement claims. They can also assist with licensing agreements, negotiating royalties, and managing intellectual property portfolios.

Whether you're a business seeking to protect a trademark, an inventor patenting a new product, or an artist protecting your work from unauthorized use, an intellectual property lawyer ensures that your creations are legally safeguarded and helps you navigate the complex landscape of IP law.

When Should I Hire an Intellectual Property Lawyer?

Hiring an intellectual property lawyer is beneficial in many situations where you need to secure, protect, or defend your intellectual property rights. Key scenarios include:

  • Filing a patent: If you've invented a new product or process, a lawyer can help you apply for a patent and ensure the protection of your invention.
  • Trademarking a logo or brand name: To protect your business's brand identity, a lawyer can assist in trademarking logos, names, slogans, or symbols.
  • Copyright protection: If you’ve created an original work (e.g., a book, music, or software), a lawyer can help you register your copyright and ensure your rights are protected.
  • Trade secrets protection: For businesses with proprietary information, a lawyer can draft agreements to protect trade secrets and ensure they remain confidential.
  • Defending against infringement: If someone is using your intellectual property without permission, a lawyer can help you take legal action to stop the infringement and seek damages.
  • Licensing agreements: If you want to allow others to use your intellectual property for a fee, an IP lawyer can draft or negotiate licensing agreements that protect your interests.
  • IP portfolio management: If you have multiple forms of intellectual property, a lawyer can help you manage your IP portfolio, ensuring all assets are protected and strategically utilized.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help you avoid legal pitfalls and ensure that your intellectual property is adequately protected from the start.

What Does an Intellectual Property Lawyer Do?

An intellectual property lawyer provides a wide range of services to protect and enforce your intellectual property rights. They can:

  • File patents and trademarks: Helping you prepare and submit patent or trademark applications to protect your inventions, brands, or logos.
  • Register copyrights: Assisting with the registration of original creative works to ensure your rights are protected under copyright law.
  • Litigate infringement cases: Representing you in court if your intellectual property has been used without authorization or if you're accused of infringement.
  • Draft licensing agreements: Creating contracts that allow others to use your intellectual property while ensuring you retain control and receive appropriate compensation.
  • Manage IP portfolios: Helping businesses and individuals manage multiple forms of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
  • Conduct due diligence in business deals: Ensuring that intellectual property assets are properly valued and protected during mergers, acquisitions, or licensing agreements.
  • Monitor and enforce IP rights: Monitoring for potential infringement and taking legal action when necessary to protect your IP from unauthorized use.

How Are Intellectual Property Lawyers Paid?

Intellectual property lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways, depending on the complexity of the work and the type of intellectual property being protected. Common payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: For specific services such as filing a trademark or copyright application, many lawyers charge a flat fee that covers all the work required for that service.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex tasks, such as drafting licensing agreements or litigating infringement cases, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Contingency fee: In some cases, particularly for IP litigation, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Their fee would typically be a percentage of the settlement or damages awarded.
  • Retainer: For ongoing IP needs, some clients may pay a retainer fee upfront to secure the lawyer’s services, which the lawyer then bills against as they work on the case.

It’s essential to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer upfront to ensure there are no surprises.

How Much Does an Intellectual Property Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an intellectual property lawyer depends on the complexity of the case and the type of intellectual property involved. General cost estimates include:

  • Trademark registration: The cost of registering a trademark can range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the complexity of the application and whether there are any issues during the registration process.
  • Patent filing: Filing a patent is often more expensive, with costs ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the type of patent (utility, design, etc.) and the complexity of the invention.
  • Copyright registration: Registering a copyright is usually less costly, with fees typically ranging from $300 to $1,500 for most creative works.
  • Litigation: If you’re involved in an IP dispute or infringement case, litigation can be costly, with fees ranging from $10,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
  • Licensing agreements: Drafting or negotiating a licensing agreement can range from $1,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the terms and complexity of the agreement.

Always get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure that the services are within your budget.

Top Questions to Ask an Intellectual Property Lawyer

Before hiring an intellectual property lawyer, it’s essential to ask questions that will help you determine if they are the right fit for your case. Here are some key questions to ask:

  1. What experience do you have with intellectual property law?
    Ensure that the lawyer has substantial experience with your specific type of intellectual property, whether it’s patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or contingency, and get a clear estimate of what your case will cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success with my application or case?
    A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of the chances of successfully obtaining a patent, trademark, or copyright or winning an infringement case.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Ask about the expected timeline for filing your application or resolving your dispute, as IP matters can sometimes take months or years to finalize.
  5. What steps will you take to protect my intellectual property?
    Ask the lawyer how they will help ensure your intellectual property is fully protected and what strategies they use to enforce IP rights.
  6. Have you handled cases similar to mine?
    If your case involves specific industries or technologies, ask whether the lawyer has worked with similar clients and what the outcomes were.

How to Check the Credibility of an Intellectual Property Lawyer

To ensure that you’re hiring a reputable intellectual property lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their standing with the state bar: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for specific IP experience: Check their website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in intellectual property law and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what past clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their professionalism and success in handling IP matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the International Trademark Association (INTA) or the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) can indicate expertise in intellectual property law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with an intellectual property lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:

  • A detailed description of your invention, brand, or creative work: Be prepared to explain what you are seeking to protect, including any unique aspects or characteristics of your intellectual property.
  • Any existing IP registrations or applications: If you’ve already filed for trademarks, patents, or copyrights, bring copies of the relevant documents.
  • Information on potential infringers: If you are dealing with an infringement issue, provide details of the alleged infringer, including evidence of the infringement, such as images, documents, or correspondence.
  • Questions about the process: Write down any questions you have about protecting or enforcing your intellectual property rights, including timelines, costs, and potential outcomes.
  • Your goals: Be clear about what you want to achieve, whether it’s securing a patent, protecting a brand, or enforcing your IP rights against unauthorized use.

Being prepared for your first consultation will help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide you with the best possible advice for protecting your intellectual property.
