I received a warning letter. What should I do?
Do not respond immediately. Contact us for an urgent assessment. We will analyze the claims, evaluate your position, and advise on the appropriate response and timeline.
How much does an opposition proceeding cost?
Costs depend on complexity, jurisdiction, and whether oral proceedings are required. We provide clear estimates upfront and discuss cost-effective strategies tailored to your situation.
What is an infringement opinion?
An infringement opinion analyzes whether a product or process falls within the scope of a third-party IP right. This helps you assess risk before taking action or entering a market.
Do you handle litigation directly?
We coordinate with specialized litigation counsel in relevant jurisdictions. Our role includes technical analysis, evidence preparation, and strategic guidance throughout the process.
When should I consider settlement?
Settlement can be cost-effective when litigation risks are uncertain or costs disproportionate. We help negotiate favorable terms including licensing, coexistence, or other commercial arrangements.
