A strong patent and intellectual property portfolio may be your company’s most valuable asset, but the legal work necessary to build and protect these assets is highly specialized. If you are not familiar with IP legal billing, it may be difficult for you to evaluate your patent and IP legal bills and determine whether you are receiving quality service for the legal costs you are paying. BrainSpark attorneys can provide you with the expertise and experience to make these determinations, at a competitive price.

 

We can tailor an IP evaluation and assessment program to meet your needs and budget. For example, you might simply want our opinion of an individual charge on a law firm invoice, or you may require a comprehensive analysis of your IP legal correspondence, services and billing over a period of months or years. We can also review independent public records maintained at various patent, trademark and copyright offices to assess the quality and completeness of the IP services provided by your law firm.

 

Our review and assessment services can be conducted confidentially.  If you prefer, we can work with you or your law firm directly to craft cost-effective solutions to deficiencies identified during our review.  We can also negotiate on your behalf for price/bill reductions on the services you received from your law firm.

 

BrainSpark attorneys can also assist with the day-to-day management of your outside counsel’s IP work. We have the experience to recognize when a law firm may not be “in tune” with the client’s objectives, and we can proactively address such issues before they become an unnecessary and costly mistake. We can be a readily-available resource for any IP-related questions you may have.

 

Let us provide you with the peace of mind that your patent and IP portfolios are being properly and cost-effectively managed. Put our experience to work for you.
