Why Your Product or Design Needs an IP Lawyer

Have a new product or invention? Chances are you need an Intellectual Property lawyer. Intellectual Property rights are designed to secure and protect designs, inventions or artwork that you’ve created so that you can successfully bring your work to the marketplace.

Simply protecting your work, however, is just the first step. Below are the top 3 reasons why IP lawyers are one of the more valuable partnerships you’ll need as you build your business.

Continuous Protection

Registering your idea, design or technology is one of the first critical actions to prevent any possible infringement – or the stealing/copying of your property. Knowing when to file – and how often – is key to avoiding any unlawful use or reproduction of your intellectual property.

The attorneys at Renner Otto are not only experts in patent, trademark or copyright law, we are also continuously monitoring the industry for updates that might affect your registration or files – so that you don’t have to. As a full-service firm, we are highly skilled in prosecution and litigation so that if there is a possible violation to your rights, we will act as your front line of defense.

Evaluation & Efficiency

You’ve secured your IP registration, but do you know what your assets are worth? We do. In addition to helping you file and update your IP registration, we also provide Due Diligence to help you understand the true value of all of your licensed assets so you can make informed decisions. Using our large network of resources, we help you diversify your portfolio; providing expert recommendations and working behind the scenes to keep your business moving forward.

Streamlining your filings and staying on top of updates and communication is crucial to keeping your costs low while you’re growing. And the last thing you need is to waste your time and money on guesswork or trying to hire an expensive in-house counsel. Our boutique firm is not only agile and efficient in our work with affordable billing rates, we are proactive in our approach so that you feel confident and secure with your business knowing we have it handled.

Expert Advice

Finally, the world of IP is vast and continuously evolving, and there’s no “one” way to grow your innovation or business. You need an expert that you can trust to give you guidance and insight on what works best for you. At Renner Otto, we prioritize quality over quantity, and we have the flexibility and freedom to get creative with our solutions. Our client relationships span decades, and not because we’re the biggest or flashiest, but because we are authentic and honest, giving you the attention and expertise you deserve.
