Intellectual Property

At Culhane Meadows, we are dedicated to helping our clients identify, protect, and generate value from their intellectual property (“IP”).  Our IP attorneys harness the experience we gained from working at top international law firms and major corporations to bring our clients the highest level of IP expertise available anywhere – at a value that can only be offered on the lean platform we built at Culhane Meadows.

From patented technology to well-known trademarks, IP assets can generate a significant competitive advantage for our clients.  Our attorneys understand the value of IP as a business asset, and are skilled at acquiring, protecting, and exploiting it.  We work with clients to evaluate how their IP assets fit into their business strategy so that investments made in IP protection yield the highest possible return.

Our IP attorneys have experience working with a wide variety of clients, from leading global companies with international IP portfolios, to emerging start-up companies who need to identify and protect their core technology assets.
