Intellectual Property

Our Intellectual Property attorneys develop strategies to protect, leverage and help enforce client innovations and brands that are consistent with our client's business objectives.

Whether you are a start-up, multi-national corporation, university, non-profit institution, or investor, protecting intellectual property ("IP") assets is crucial to ensure that those assets have value. At VLP, we know that developing a strong IP position is essential to staying competitive. IP strategies must be directed, innovative, and cost-effective, and carried out with a full understanding of the competitive landscape and your business.

VLP’s attorneys are highly accomplished in patents, trademarks, trade secret, and copyright procurement, counseling, and enforcement.
