Intellectual Property & Technology

Miles & Stockbridge helps businesses around the world maximize the strategic value of their innovations in all areas of technology and science.

Our attorneys are experienced in the procurement, management and maximization of the value of intellectual property (IP) through prosecution and transactions that involve IP of all types, including trade secrets, patents, trademarks, and copyright, as well as those involving the Internet, e-commerce, corporate and secured transactions, computer law, technology transfer, licensing and related services. Our lawyers understand and work with complex technologies in all disciplines. We have extensive experience with the procedures and requirements of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Most importantly, we take a practical business approach to IP that transcends the details of products and processes and recognizes the use of IP as a business tool. We are skilled at helping companies maximize the value of their intellectual assets by not only partnering with them in transactions, but also by helping them develop effective business practices.

Miles & Stockbridge also enforces and defends our clients’ IP rights in the United States in court and before the U.S. International Trade Commission.

Our lawyers have advanced degrees and proficiency in demanding technical areas and many have significant experience as researchers, engineers and scientists. Among us are former examiners from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Several of our lawyers are so highly regarded for their patent prosecution knowledge that they are sought-after expert witnesses. Some are even inventors themselves with U.S. and foreign patents.
