Industries we work in.

The services are the same nine everywhere. What changes by sector is which of them you need first, and how much technical background the work requires before the legal analysis can even start.

Human and animal health, biotechnology and wellness

Diagnostics, medical devices, therapeutics, veterinary products, supplements and wellness brands. This is the sector where the science background does the most work: a patent application here is only as good as the person reading the assay data behind it, and the regulatory pathway you choose determines which claims you are ever allowed to make in marketing.

Most often: Patents, IP Commercialization, Investment & Policy Advisory, Tech Transactions.

Security, defense and critical infrastructure

Experimental, emerging and dual use technology sold into or alongside government. The distinctive problems here are structural: keeping commercial rights while licensing to an agency, clearing export control before you hire, navigating other transaction authority and sole source justification, and understanding what the government actually acquires when it funds your work. Direct experience across the Departments of Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security.

Most often: Federal Government & Defense Technology Transactions, IP Commercialization, Investment & Policy Advisory, Tech Transactions.

Digital apps, platforms and emerging technology

Software, SaaS, marketplaces, AI products and anything with an API. The recurring issues are ownership of code written by contractors, open source obligations hiding in the dependency tree, what a model was trained on, who owns its output, and terms of service that were copied from a competitor and would not survive a challenge.

Most often: Tech Transactions, Gaming, Media and Entertainment, IP Commercialization, Investment & Policy Advisory.

Robotics, chemical, materials and industrial innovation

Autonomous systems, formulations, processes, manufacturing and hardware. Protection here is usually a mix rather than a single filing: utility claims on the mechanism, a design patent on the form, and trade secret discipline around the process that nobody can reverse engineer from the product. Tooling ownership in the manufacturing agreement matters as much as the patent does.

Most often: Patents, Tech Transactions, IP Commercialization, Investment & Policy Advisory.

Gaming, media and entertainment

Studios, developers, publishers, creators and platforms. The work is almost entirely transactional: engine and middleware licensing, co development and publishing terms, storefront and app store distribution, voice and performer releases, user generated content and modding rights, and the monetization structures that decide whether revenue actually reaches you.

Most often: Tech Transactions, Gaming, Media and Entertainment, Trademarks.

Consumer, household and lifestyle products

Physical products sold direct to consumer, through retail or on marketplaces. Speed and cost discipline matter more than portfolio size: a design patent plus a registered trademark often protects more of the actual business than a utility filing would, and marketplace enforcement tools do more day to day work than a lawsuit ever would.

Most often: Trademarks, Patents, Disputes, Enforcement & Pre-Litigation.

Not on this list?

These are the sectors where the technical background is already in place, not a limit on who the firm represents. If your technology sits somewhere else, the consultation will tell you honestly whether this is the right firm for it.

You filed. That does not mean you are covered.

One extra carbon atom erased a company's priority date and invalidated every claim it sued on. The guide shows what a provisional actually reserves, and the two questions to ask before you file.
