Patents

At Workman Nydegger we believe that intellectual property requires more than just helping our clients obtain patents. We strive to help our clients understand how to think about creating asset value through strategic development of their IP portfolio.

Our attorneys understand how to work closely with your key innovators and business managers to make sure we not only clearly understand the technical aspects of your innovations, but also how those technical advances are expected to yield a sales advantage in the market place, so that IP portfolios are developed centered on strategic and market objectives, not just technical innovation.

At W|N we also understand that before we can protect today’s innovative technologies, we first have to be able to understand them. Our attorneys hold degrees ranging from undergraduate to masters and doctoral levels which enable them to understand and work with scientific and engineering disciplines such as:
