Provided by Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone, P.L.C.

Miller Canfield’s team of intellectual property attorneys have the technical and legal knowledge and the business acumen to help clients obtain, protect and license their intellectual property assets and ensure the advice we provide and programs we develop fit our clients’ individual business strategies.  

Our team of attorneys, engineers, patent agents, and a former U.S. Patent and Trademark Office examiner have real-world experience that allows us to provide comprehensive intellectual property services, fair use, licensing infringement, patent and trademark prosecution, and assistance with developing global IP strategies, including trademark selection and global brand management, and management of global patent and trademark portfolios. We offer competitive intellectual property analyses to help clients develop their strategies and conduct IP audits to ensure that those strategies maximize the value of our clients’ IP. 

We assist clients in a wide range of industries – inventors, entrepreneurs and startups, to middle-market companies, multinational conglomerates, academic institutions and nonprofits, technology and software, Internet retail and publishing.

We have a dedicated IP team in our Shanghai office specifically to assist clients with Chinese intellectual property laws.
