intellectual property - this is why we have obtained, and continue to obtain, the business of dynamic companies and entrepreneurs - our firm

day-to-day intellectual property and patent consultation as well as formulating long-term strategic plans.  And these strategies will be articulated

• PATENT LAW: A Patent is often the most important part of the intellectual property portfolio for an individual or company.

  A GOOD PATENT STARTS WITH A GOOD PATENT SEARCH.  A proper patent search will reveal whether your invention is in a crowded art that will require more carefully drafted claims and prosecution strategies or whether your inventions more innovative, which will allow our attorneys and patent professionals to draft wider claims in your innovative area of invention.  If we find that your invention may run into difficulties during patent prosecution (because it may infringe other patents or because the invention does no appear to fulfill the novel and non-obvious requirements

  ONLY AFTER A PROPER PATENT SEARCH CAN ONE DRAFT A STRONG PATENT APPLICATION.  After the search, our attorneys and patent professionals will work with you to draft a strong patent application (whether it be design, provisional or non-provisional) that claims the broadest patentable area while also considering your long-term business goals.  The drafting of your application is the all-important time when you define your invention for the world and the governmental bodies that will determine whether you will obtain your hard-fought intellectual property rights and protections.  Whether you choose Jafari Law Group as your intellectual property firm or not, it is vitally important to your future business entity that your patent application be drafted by a professional who understands your invention, the applicable law and your business goals.    

  • “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” – Benjamin Franklin

   

  SUCCESSFUL PATENT PROSECUTION REQUIRES LEGAL KNOWLEDGE AND CAREFULLY DRAFTED RESPONSES TO THE USPTO.  Once your patent application is filed the USPTO will review your matter and usually produce at least one office action.  An office action is a written response by the USPTO to your application that may address a multitude of issues.  The truly important aspect of an office action is how you respond.  Jafari Law Group is well-versed in both interpreting the actual language of a USPTO Office Action and in drafting a formal response that addresses the issues articulated by the USPTO while continuing to protect your intellectual property and business interests. Prosecution of a patent application is a long-term commitment and Jafari Law Group is committed to successfully obtaining every patent we file. 

   

  ONCE YOU HAVE OBTAINED YOUR PATENT, YOU MUST MARKET YOUR INVENTION WHILE ALSO PROTECTING YOUR NEW INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.  Congratulations, you’ve been granted a patent!  Now, in order to make your intellectual property valuable (i.e. – produce income) you will have to either license your invention to other parties, form a company within which you will produce and market your invention independently and negotiate contracts with manufacturers, transportation companies, wholesalers and/or vendors.  By choosing Jafari Law Group to help you obtain your patent, we will help you make a seamless transition from securing intellectual property to creating a successful business entity to protect and grow this intellectual property.  And throughout, Jafari Law Group will be your Outside General Counsel, ready to provide you with infringement opinions and analysis of
  competing products and companies.  If we conclude that your intellectual property rights are being infringed, Jafari Law Group will attempt to negotiate a quick resolution to the situation and, when necessary, our attorneys will prosecute
  infringers to the extent allowed under the law.
