Protecting Intellectual Property Since 2005
Contact UsYou're excited but also a little nervous. You've worked hard to develop your product, and your brand is your reputation. You also know that without proper protection, others can divert sales away from you and ride off your good name. And if you're seeking investment, the deal may depend on your commercial advantage. What stops someone else from offering the same product or service at a lower price? Someone can almost always do it cheaper. Right?
Your IP is Everything. I Get It. Your Success is My Priority.
In 2005, the Biotech Beach Law Group was formed with a single mission – to protect intellectual property rights in the US and abroad. Since then, we’ve obtained hundreds of patents for medical devices, pharmaceuticals and therapeutic treatments, cDNA, proteins, optical and electronic instrumentation, computer hardware, and much more. We’ve also registered numerous trademarks for brand names, logos and even trade dress for the “look” of a device.
By combining expertise across different technologies and different forms of IP, we can prepare a value-based IP strategy depending on your needs.
We Can Help Globally.
Our approach is international. Growing an international IP portfolio requires more than having teams in foreign countries - although we also have this. We believe nuances between US, European and Asian jurisdictions should be handled early on to minimize downstream costs. For example, medical treatment patents are not permitted in many foreign jurisdictions, but there can be nuances to the examination policies. Software patents are also handled differently in different jurisdictions. As for trademarks, some countries are less accepting of descriptive marks but more lenient on use requirements. Wouldn't it be a good idea to consider these differences early on? Surprisingly, many don't.
We don't file then pray...We strategize then file.
I Mean it. Your Success is My Priority!
Once you are ready to protect your IP, please reach out for an introductory call.
