GPL can work on an hourly or a fixed fee basis. As part of the engagement process, GPL provides a transparent fee schedule that includes associated service fees and other fees you can expect to pay.  Our services include:

​

• Patent preparation and prosecution, in the US and abroad: GPL prepares patent applications that provide the broadest protection for your inventions and helps you build patent portfolios in furtherance of your business goals and strategy.

​

• Patent Opinions, portfolio analysis and strategy: GPL provides novelty and Freedom to Operate opinions, reviews your portfolio, tracks your competitors' filings, and prepares strategies based upon your budget, business size and goals. 

​​

• Licensing & Transactional: licensing of your invention is an important business asset and can improve your position in the market. For this purpose, GPL can help you identify core assets with licensing potential and prepare and negotiate associated licensing agreements. GPL also offers creation of IP-specific entities such as IP holding companies.

 

• Trademarks, in the US and abroad: GPL helps you select strong trademarks that increase the likelihood of registration in the US and abroad. A strong trademark is a business asset that allows consumers to readily identify your company as the source or origin of the products or services you sell and/or provide. A strong trademark can also promote your business, help cement your reputation in the marketplace, build brand equity, and distinguish your products and services from those of your competitors. GPL also handles TTAB proceedings, matters related to the use of trademarks, and can file takedowns on social media platforms as necessary.

​​

• Trade secrets: GPL works with you to identify and protect concepts that should remain secret.

​​

• Copyrights: GPL helps you secure protection for your works of authorship in just about any tangible form. Examples include manuscripts/books, illustrations, icons, music, software code, board game layouts and even tattoo designs. For self-publishers, GPL provides a legal clearance service that reviews your manuscript to identify possible legal issues, and prepares an associated Opinion of Counsel letter that discusses the issues and lists recommended actions, if any, to remediate the issues.

​​

• Domain name issues: GPL prepares and responds to cease and desist letters and handles other enforcement matters, including domain name disputes and Uniform domain name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) actions.

 

• Open source software analysis: GPL has years of experience analyzing software licences, software architecture, and participating in software audits to ascertain unattributed open source software component usage in your software product code base. GPL can work with you to identify and remediate your open source software vulnerabilities and educate your team for proper open source usage in your commercial products.
