Frequently Ask Questions
The SciTech & IP Law Firm PLLC provides science, technology, and intellectual property (IP) legal services for innovators, founders, and organizations building innovation driven businesses. We focus on helping clients protect, commercialize, and enforce patents, trademarks, copyrights, and technology assets with business aligned, strategy first counsel.
We are a strong fit for inventors, startup founders, scientists, engineers, digital creators, e commerce brands, SaaS platforms, and innovation driven companies that need sophisticated IP and technology guidance. If you want a partner who understands both the law and the underlying science and can connect legal work directly to business outcomes, our firm is designed for you.
We offer patent strategy and prosecution, trademark clearance and registration, copyright and content protection, technology and SaaS transactions, and startup and emerging company counseling. We also provide regulatory and commercialization strategy, IP enforcement and dispute resolution, and outside general counsel style support for high growth science and technology businesses.
We focus on IP intensive and regulated industries including biotech and life sciences, medical devices and diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, software and SaaS, AI and data driven products, electronics, mechanical engineering, and digital media and e commerce. Our technical fluency allows us to quickly understand complex products, identify protectable IP, and structure deals that support long term commercialization and growth.
For many matters, we scope the work up front and offer transparent, flat fee legal packages instead of unpredictable hourly billing. This SaaP model lets you budget with confidence, move faster, and treat key legal services like products you can plan around rather than open ended engagements.
In addition to flat fee packages, we offer traditional hourly billing for complex or highly customized matters and milestone based or subscription arrangements for ongoing advisory support. We will discuss options during the intake process so you understand the structure, scope, and cost before work begins.
We combine deep IP and regulatory experience with advanced STEM and startup backgrounds, so we can speak both “law” and “lab” or “code.” We deliberately cap our active matter load and use a productized, systems driven approach, which allows us to provide senior level attention, clear communication, and strategy that is tailored to your specific industry and growth stage.
Yes. While based in Austin, Texas, we represent clients across the United States and, in many IP matters, internationally. We regularly conduct virtual consultations and remote engagements for founders, creators, and companies located in other states and innovation hubs.
Yes. For many startups and scaling companies, we function as a fractional or outside general counsel on IP, technology, and related commercial issues. This can include reviewing and negotiating key contracts, managing your IP portfolio, coordinating with specialist local counsel when needed, and helping leadership teams proactively identify and manage legal risk.
You should usually speak with an IP and technology lawyer before publicly disclosing key innovations, signing major customer or vendor contracts, or closing investment rounds. Early advice can help you avoid losing patent rights, giving away key IP in contracts, or creating cap table and ownership issues that complicate future funding or exits.
Yes. We assist digital creators, influencers, streamers, and online brands with trademark strategy, content and media rights, licensing and sponsorship agreements, and enforcement actions such as platform takedowns. Our goal is to help you protect both your reputation and your revenue streams while maintaining flexibility for future collaborations and brand extensions.
We regularly advise software and SaaS companies, AI and data driven product teams, and platform businesses on IP strategy, licensing, data and content ownership, and commercial contracts. This can include structuring terms of service, negotiating enterprise and API agreements, and aligning IP and regulatory strategy with your product roadmap.
We handle pre litigation IP disputes, enforcement, and defense strategies for science and technology companies, including cease and desist letters, takedown efforts, and negotiated resolutions. Our focus is on protecting your innovations and brand while minimizing unnecessary cost, distraction, and risk to the business.
We partner closely with inventors and R&D teams to understand the technology, identify patentable inventions or trade secrets, and map IP filings to the company’s product and commercialization strategy. We then develop a prioritized roadmap for filings and enforcement that matches your budget, market timing, and competitive landscape.
It is helpful to prepare a concise description of your product or content, any prior or pending IP filings, key contracts or NDAs, relevant timelines or launch dates, and your top legal or business priorities. Sharing documents and background information in advance allows the initial consultation to focus on strategy and practical next steps instead of basic fact gathering.
You can request a consultation directly through the website using the “Contact Us” or “Schedule” options, or by using the contact details on the homepage and contact page. After we receive your inquiry, we will confirm fit and conflicts, outline next steps, and schedule a virtual or in person meeting when appropriate.
During an initial consultation, we will learn about your business, technology, or content, clarify your goals, identify immediate risks or opportunities, and discuss possible strategies and service options. You will also have the chance to ask questions about scope, timeline, pricing models, and how we typically work with clients like you.
