The path to market for a new product can be complex and daunting, no matter the industry. Success relies heavily on early identification of and careful preparation for potential hurdles. Many successful path-to-market strategies have had to overcome complications, such as competitors’ patents blocking progress.

Experienced in filing reexamination requests with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, we have also achieved a strong track record of success in defeating problematic patents in reexamination. We also defend our clients’ patents that have been challenged in reexamination, and our record in these matters is also strong.
