PATENTS Because we are a small firm, we are able to provide personalized service in procurement and protection of patentable inventions. Larry Laubscher, partner, has over twenty-five years of experience in the patent field. We assist our clients in evaluating the patentability of new inventions, file and obtain patents thereon, and evaluate the scope of protection afforded to their patent claims as well as those of others. We render validity and infringement opinions on numerous patents, and assist with licensing and enforcement of patents which our clients obtain. We have a network of associates throughout the world to assist us in obtaining patent protection for our clients in just about every foreign country. Familiarity with the Patent Cooperation Treaty and the various community patent systems such as the European Patent system enable us to efficiently counsel our clients on the most cost-effective way to maximize their foreign patent protection. While we are proficient in many areas of technology, we specialize in electrical and mechanical inventions, including computer software. Patent law is a dynamic field. Changes are frequent and require continuous evaluation so that our clients' interests are protected. We are active participants in numerous seminars conducted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the American Intellectual Property Law Association and the Intellectual Property Law Section of the American Bar Association. ___________________________________________________ For additional information on our other practice areas, see: > Trademarks > Copyrights > Domain Names Profile | Practice Areas | Attorney Profiles | Contact Us | Home Laubscher Severson 1160 Spa Road, Suite 2B, Annapolis, Maryland 21403 Telephone: (410) 280-6608 Facsimile: (410) 280-6758 E-mail: info@laubscherlaw.com
