About

Provided by Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP

Our nationally recognized intellectual property (IP) practice assists clients in creating and defending IP assets to achieve their key business goals, such as maintaining exclusivity, building iconic brands, and attracting investment. We understand the critical role IP assets play in driving and supporting these goals.

Who We Represent We serve a diverse range of clients, including innovative start-ups, multinational corporations, universities, and other IP-driven organizations. Our clients span various industries, such as chemistry, biosciences, nanotechnology, electrical engineering, food and beverage, medical devices, software, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and more. They are domestic, foreign, and global entities.

Our 360-Degree Approach IP can be among a business's most valuable assets but can be compromised by internal misappropriation, scattershot protection efforts, and strategies misaligned with business goals. Our team employs an integrated approach, supported by proprietary data analysis and Six Sigma tools, to help clients maintain a proactive IP strategy. This strategy enables clients to leverage IP assets for business advantages, optimize handling and spend management, and inform our approach to IP litigation and transactions, such as licensing, venture capital investments, and acquisitions. This results in a comprehensive 360-degree approach to IP.
