We Engineer Strategies to Protect Your Intellectual Property

Become the IP leader that everyone is jealous of! We don’t want you to struggle with intellectual property; business moves too fast to always be trailing your competition. You deserve to be the one that everyone else is following. We are here to help you become the IP leader in your market. We don’t just care about patents and trademarks – we care about you and your success. After having guided our clients through the process of obtaining 400+ patents, filing 400+ trademark applications, and digesting at least a thousand trademark search opinions, we have learned a thing or two about how to help our clients succeed, and would love to help you. Don’t believe us? Check out the free gifts we have prepared for you. Not sure if we are the IP law firm for you? Start by listening to a few of the following interviews to learn our thoughts on IP, common IP myths and mistakes to avoid, and IP strategy.

Just starting out and have grand ambitions of building an IP portfolio? We are here to help. Make no mistake, intellectual property clearance and protection is complex, but after 16 years in business we know how to make it as painless as possible, and dare I say – enjoyable! Whether you are trying to protect an invention or the name of your product/service, or simply trying to avoid stepping on other’s intellectual property, we know how to help you navigate the process. Don’t delay – on average over 1600 patent applications, and over 1200 trademark applications, are filed every day, any one of which may impact your ability to protect your invention or brand! In our simple 3-step process we will have a session to analyze your goals, give you a custom strategy, and then help you execute that strategy in a timely and cost efficient fashion. Don’t believe us? Just see how much value we provide in the free gifts we have prepared for new inventors and creatives.

Stop throwing away your precious start-up funds on IP service offerings from law firms that butter their bread with work from Fortune 500 companies that have been around for 50 years. They simply don’t understand your position, nor do they want to! An intellectual property strategy for a start-up looks nothing like the IP strategy of a corporation that has a portfolio of hundreds, or thousands, of patents and trademarks. Heck, they probably have an annual budget for just maintenance and renewal fees that far exceeds your total IP budget. You can’t afford to take a shotgun approach to intellectual property protection and clearance; you need a strategy tailored to your goals and budget, which is where we excel. Don’t believe us? Just see how much value we provide in the free gifts we have prepared for start-ups.

If you’re an experienced inventor or creative then you are probably here because you aren’t elated with your current IP counsel. We feel your pain. If you are working with a large IP law firm, or a general practice law firm with an IP department, there is a good chance you are paying $400+/hour for an attorney with very little real experience, and certainly no success stories of the attorney handling a patent application from the initial drafting all the way through to issuance (A-Z). Additionally, in order for the law firm’s partners to make the most profit from each associate (and you), these inexperienced attorneys often practice in a silo limited to a very specific step in the process, such as responding to foreign office actions or only handling design applications, and they never see the big picture. Sure, this serves the law firm partners well, but you – not so much. Do you think the attorney actually performing your IP work knows anything about your specific goals and strategy? Rest assured, if you work with Dawsey IP – your specific IP goals and strategy will always be at the top of my mind as I do the work associated with protecting your precious intellectual property. Don’t risk getting lost in the shuffle; and protecting what may be your most valuable asset is not the time to try to save a few bucks. Give me a call at 1-614-228-6280 to set-up an initial consultation, or schedule one online here.

Become indispensable. Our goal is to make every in-house counsel look like a hero and be indispensable to their employer. I am sick of hearing stories of a borderline adversarial relationship between in-house counsel and the outside law firms that they hire. It makes no sense. I suspect it is because large firms figure that in-house counsel come and go, and rarely stay in the position longer than the firm has been working for the corporation. Therefore, it is in their best interest to make their firm look like the hero to the executives, rather than help the in-house counsel be the hero. I will do everything I can to make you the hero. If I help you be the all-star, everything else will work out. Creative projects we have undertaken to make in-house counsel’s lives better include setting up a private online docketing system so they have constant visibility and control over their entire IP portfolio, and setting up and maintaining a private blog analyzing product specific patents, as they issue, so the clients can easily access our thoughts of the patents and simplify product clearance and freedom-to-operate opinions. Sound interesting? If so, contact me (1-614-228-6280) for a demo of what can be done and a discussion of how we can do it for your market to make your life easier. I hope to make sure you stay abreast of intellectual property issues in your industry, which may be new litigation, the issuance of a significant patent, and competitive intelligence in general. Does your current counsel make sure you are the hero? We wil! Give me a call at 1-614-228-6280 to set-up an initial consultation, or schedule one online here.
