Need To Register A Patent Or Trademark?

Experience You Can Count On
Prior to starting our firm, attorney Jeffrey Wendt served as senior intellectual property counsel for several multinational corporations. And as a board member and the former president of the National Association of Patent Practitioners (NAPP), few attorneys have the same level of experience and resources to get your ideas off the ground.
Don’t Wait To Get Started
If you don’t file a patent application as early as possible, you could make a mistake that jeopardizes your patent rights. Something as simple as publishing an article in a journal or speaking at a conference, or offering an item or service for sale, may bar your ability to get a patent for your invention.
While common law trademarks are valuable assets, federally registered trademarks (which can only happen after “use in commerce” of a mark “as a trademark”, not just the name of a business) are considered more valuable assets for many reasons, not the least of which is putting third parties on notice of your rights sanctioned by the US Government.
Our firm provides trusted guidance and counseling for your intellectual property needs. Located in Austin, and The Woodlands, north of Houston, by appointment, in Austin, we are trusted by a variety of sophisticated clients, from entrepreneurial innovators to some of the country’s largest companies.
