We speak your language
At Clark+Elbing, we know that your success depends on the effectiveness of your patent strategy. That’s why we work closely with you, drawing from our deep scientific and legal backgrounds, to help you identify and maximize the commercial value of your invention.
Because we understand science, you don’t need to spend valuable time bringing us up to speed. We have an exceptional ability to communicate with inventors at corporations, universities, and medical centers, and work with you from the very earliest stages of your discoveries. This close collaboration helps us to secure the broadest possible patent coverage for you. Whatever you are patenting, we speak your language.
We advise in all aspects of patent prosecution both in the U.S. and worldwide from receiving an invention disclosure and determining inventorship through obtaining the patent and protecting it through post-grant proceedings. We work with you to maximize the patent term and the patent life cycle for your innovations.
