Have you created a new invention, developed an improvement to your company’s product or are you trying to license an invention?  At Borges & Rolle LLP we strive to help our clients realize and properly exploit the actual and potential value of their intellectual property assets.  We will help you prepare and file your patent applications and we will guide you through the lengthy and complex process of patent prosecution.

Developing a relationship to ensure patent protection
The process of prosecuting a patent application can take between 18 to 48 months, depending on the particular type of invention.  We therefore encourage you to sit down with us so we can develop the best strategy for protecting your rights to your invention. This enables us to have a proactive role in the developmental process of protecting your invention, thereby contributing to your long-term success.

We will ensure that your patent application is defined as broadly as possible to increase licensing revenue and catch possible infringers. We will draft your patent application so that it not only covers the specific invention itself, but also any likely modifications or improvements.  Where appropriate we will also file for additional patent claims that go to the method of using your invention. This will further protect your invention.

Your patent will be filed with the Canadian and United States Patent Offices. If the US or Canadian patent offices request any additional information, we will respond quickly on your behalf. Through our IP software system, we will keep you up to date about any filing deadlines. We can also protect your patent internationally by filing under the Patent Cooperation Treaty.

Patent Infringement
Our lawyers are experienced in patent protection, and as such we will take the appropriate action against any infringement that occurs. Since patent litigation can be a very expensive proposition, we will work with you to protect your bottom line, whether it is by negotiating resolutions to avoid litigation, creative problem solving, or litigation.

Contact us for a consultation concerning your patent. We also offer high-caliber assistance with other intellectual property matters, including trademarks, industrial designs, trade secrets, and copyrights.
