Patents
Developing a successful new technology involves more than merely designing a desirable product or service and developing an effective marketing campaign. A thoughtful patent strategy is often a critical component of an overall business plan. Catalina & Associates is committed to protecting our clients' emerging and new technologies through effective preparation and prosecution of patent applications based on our clients' objectives, commercial value of the invention, target markets, and growth potential of the involved innovation.
Our attorneys and patent agents understand the complex procedures to prosecute a patent application before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as well as the scientific and business issues that drive the new technology or innovation. During the patent application and prosecution process, we provide uniquely insightful technical advice and legal counsel while preparing applications that pre-empt potential challenges and circumvent potentially fatal prior art. We take pride in preparing patent applications which will help our clients accomplish their real world business objectives. We also advise on the strategic aspects of patent prosecution, helping our clients to develop an appropriate and cost-effective patent portfolio.
