Blanchard & Associates

Description

• Blanchard & Associates delivers patents that count for avoiding pitfalls such as Post-Grant Review (PGR) and Inter Partes Review (IPR). We also implement strategies that use PGR and IPR proceedings to eliminate weaker patents of competitors. PGR and IPR are relatively new proceedings that allow any interested party to challenge the validity of an issued patent before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Patent owners and petitioners struggle with the emerging and novel legal issues presented by PGR and IPR practice, such as substantive and procedural rules, stays of parallel litigation, and the scope of preclusion. Because PGR and IPR practice involves so many issues of first impression, clients are best served by patent attorneys who think creatively and strategically and further understand the nuances of the USPTO. Our patent attorneys have a command of the technology at issue and an in-depth understanding of the rules and procedures at the USPTO, and thus can tailor their factual and legal arguments to the specialized Administrative Patent Judges who decide PGR and IPR cases. Our patent expertise also helps you unlock the full potential of your technology assets to create new business opportunities, protect existing markets, and achieve true value for your company or organization. We acquire patent rights having a purpose, thus providing strategic value in the context of your business goals, competitor holdings, and the current state of the art. Collectively, our patent attorneys have over 40 years of experience preparing, obtaining, and evaluating foreign and domestic patents. We have extensive experience with complex appeals, reissues, and re-examinations and provide opinions regarding invalidity, non-infringement, and freedom to use. We advise on litigation strategies and regarding design around issues. We are the experienced attorneys you want on your side when failure is unacceptable.
