They assess clients' intellectual property portfolios, identify valuable assets, and recommend strategies for maximizing protection and commercialization opportunities.

  2. Patent Prosecution: Patent attorneys assist inventors and businesses in preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and international patent offices. They conduct prior art searches, draft patent claims and specifications, and respond to office actions to secure patent protection for new inventions and technologies.

    3. Thorough Trademark Search: Conduct a comprehensive trademark search to ensure the proposed trademark is unique and not infringing on existing trademarks. This helps prevent potential legal issues in the future and protects the client's investment.

    4. Personalized Strategy: Develop a customized trademark registration strategy based on the client's business goals, industry, and budget. This could involve recommending the appropriate trademark classes, filing options (e.g., standard vs. expedited), and international registration if necessary.

    5. Timely Filing: File the trademark application promptly to secure the client's rights and prevent others from registering a similar mark in the meantime. A & B Law Ventures should prioritize efficiency without compromising accuracy.
