Valuable patent insight and analysis
A patent opinion may be critical to ensure the success of your business. Clark+Elbing is known for working with leading technology innovators, particularly in the fields of life science, chemistry, and devices. We prepare an array of patent opinions:
- Freedom-to-operate
- Infringement
- Inventorship
- Non-infringement
- Patentability
- Validity
Legal assurances for your innovation
Leveraging our technical and legal acumen, we critically review your products and methods against potentially blocking third-party patents and assess the validity and enforceability of those patents. We also prepare non-infringement and invalidity opinions. We further advise clients on how to address potentially infringing activities of their competitors.
We can provide both legal and technical advice on how best to navigate around potentially blocking IP to assist our clients in designing around third party IP and assist clients in understanding how third parties could design around their IP.
