Patent strategy—when done right—should complement your business and help you achieve the business outcomes that you are pursuing. The patent strategy for a company that is seeking to close a funding round in the near term should be dramatically different from a company that is looking for exit opportunities in the medium term. Your patent strategy should depend on your funding needs, your exit strategy, your competitors, your specific market, the innovation lifecycle in your field, and the identity of your potential acquirers and your customers, just to name a few. Shah IP Law, PLLC is uniquely qualified to consider all of these factors and craft a business driven strategy that will help you obtain your business objectives.

Patent Attorney
Business Trade Secrets
Business trade secrets constitute intellectual property because they are confidential information that holds commercial value. If you want to protect your trade secrets and pursue legal action against those who have stolen them, an intellectual property attorney can help.
Cannabis trademarks
Because the commercial sale of cannabis remains illegal under federal law, it is not possible to get a federal trademark for a mark related to the sale of cannabis. Once cannabis is federally legalized, it will be possible to do so. Talk to a trademark attorney to learn more.
Cannabis utility patents
A cannabis utility patent provides legal protection for specific cannabis strains. That means that these strains are legally protected and cannot be copied. It can be used to protect the plant, as well as a clone, tissue, or cell of the plant. Contact a patent attorney to learn more.
Copyright
Copyright provides legal protection for creative works, such as artwork, written works, choreography, musical compositions, and more. A copyright is automatically created when the work is created, but unless you register, you will not be able to collect damages for infringement.
Data Privacy and Security
Keeping clients’ information confidential is critical today. Unfortunately, it is also harder than ever. If you want to make sure that your company’s data stays safe, talk to a data privacy and cybersecurity attorney today.
Design Patents
A design patent protects the appearance of an item or article from being copied or replicated. For instance, Apple has a design patent on the design of the iPhone. This prevents competitors from using the same design. A patent attorney can help you protect your product’s unique design.
Design patents on ancillary products
You may or may not be aware that the design or appearance of a product or ancillary product can actually be patented. A design patent prevents others from selling or manufacturing the same design and allows you to sue them for damages if they do. Contact a lawyer to learn more.
Digital Assets
Digital assets, such as documents, spreadsheets, data, and websites, can be incredibly valuable to businesses and detrimental if they end up in the wrong hands. Digital assets are a form of intellectual property, and a lawyer can help you to protect them. Schedule a consultation today.
Due Diligence
Patent due diligence involves the aggressive review of a business’ patent portfolio in order to ensure that the patent portfolio supports its long-term goals and overall IP strategy. It may also be an important aspect of purchasing an in-license. Talk to a patent attorney to learn more.
Economic Trade Secrets
Trade secrets are often behind white-collar scandals such as insider trading. Your company can be made or broken based on the security around your trade secrets. If your trade secrets have been revealed, take action by hiring an intellectual property attorney.
End User License Agreements (EULA)
An End User License Agreement is an agreement between a software company and the user of the software. It spells out guidelines for usage, appropriate usage, and penalties for violating the agreement. If you need an agreement for your software, contact a lawyer to draft one that meets your needs.
Engineering Trade Secrets
Engineering trade secrets include any information that would hold economic or commercial value. If you need help protecting your trade secrets and the business that is built on them, contact an intellectual property attorney today.
Financial Trade Secrets
A trade secret can consist of any information, including plans and processes, that holds commercial value. When your trade secrets are sold for profit, it can have terrible consequences for your business. If you want to fight back, it is important to have an intellectual property attorney.
Franchises
Intellectual property comes into play with franchises because the owner will have to create an agreement that dictates the conditions and parameters for which the franchisee can use the owner’s intellectual property and branding. Talk to an intellectual property attorney if you are franchising.
Freedom to Operate Opinions
A Freedom to Operate Opinion (FTO) determines whether a commercial product or process can be patented without infringing on an existing patent or other party’s rights. This is an important step to undergo before proceeding with the patent process.
Hemp PVPA applications
If you are a hemp breeder or grower, your career depends on protecting the genetics of your unique strains. Luckily, the USDA is now accepting plant variety protection (PVP) applications, which allow you to protect new plant varieties that are distinct, uniform, and stable.
Hemp trademarks
If you have a hemp product that contains less than .3% THC, then you may be able to qualify for federal trademark protection. This will allow you to protect your hemp product brand from infringement and to collect damages from anyone who has infringed your brand.
Infringement Options
If your patent is being infringed, it is important to consult with an experienced patent attorney as soon as possible in order to determine what options are available to you to combat the infringement. Contact a patent attorney today to schedule a consultation.
Intellectual Property
Intangible property often holds the most value when it comes to your business. Things like your brand name and the rights to your work, products, and inventions can be protected through trademarks, patents, and copyrights. Talk to an intellectual property lawyer to learn more.

Joint development agreements
If you and another party are entering into business together, it’s important to make sure that you have a legally valid agreement detailing your shared goal and your plans for getting there. Your agreement should cover how disagreements are handled and clarify the roles of all parties.
Joint venture agreements
A joint venture is a unique business arrangement where two or more people pool their resources to accomplish a task or mission. A joint venture agreement is incredibly important when it comes to supporting the accomplishment of this shared mission.
Licensing
Licensing agreements can be an extremely lucrative way to increase your revenue. The key to negotiating a good licensing agreement is to have an experienced attorney on your side. Schedule a consultation today.
Medical Device Patents
Non-disclosure agreements
Non-disclosure agreements are critical when it comes to the proper and effective functioning of a business. Many businesses would fail if their trade secrets or classified information were to be released. NDAs ensure that that will not happen and that they can collect damages when it does.
Outsourcing Agreements
An outsourcing agreement allows a company to enter into an agreement with another company in which they contract with them to perform a service that is currently being performed within the company.
Patent Counseling
Patent counseling is an important aspect of patent portfolio management that cannot be overlooked. In a global patent market, it is critical to know where and how to build a diverse patent portfolio, as well as how to develop a business plan with an emphasis on intellectual property.

Patent Portfolio Management
Like stocks, patents are a great way to diversify and build your assets. Managing your patent portfolio involves making decisions about which patents to invest in by purchasing them or which patents to sell. This can involve making difficult decisions, but they often pay off.
Patent Prosecution
When someone infringes on your patent, it is critical to take action. If a cease and desist letter does not work, the next step is to take them to court so that you can collect damages and hold them accountable. Talk to a patent attorney to learn more about how to prosecute for patent infringement.
Patent Validity Options
Patents do not last forever. Instead, they are generally considered valid for a period of 20 years starting from the time the patent protection is initially granted. Contact a patent attorney to make sure you can get patent protection as soon as possible.
Patent Valuation
Patent Watch Services
Technology is an ever-evolving field, and it is important to keep your finger on the pulse. A patent watch ensures that you will be aware of any new, relevant, or potentially infringing technology as soon as possible, so you can protect your technology while also becoming aware of ways to advance it
Patent licensing
If you own a patent, you may be interested in licensing it to other businesses or third parties for profit. If so, a patent attorney can help. Contact a patent attorney today to schedule a consultation and find out how you can license the rights to your patent while still retaining ownership.
Patentability Opinions
If you are considering patenting an invention or design of yours, you will want to make sure that your idea or design can actually be patented before you invest thousands in the process. This is why it is critical to first get a patentability opinion.
Patenting Strategy
Professional service and consulting agreements
Handshake agreements are a thing of the past, and an excellent way to wreck your business. A cornerstone of a strong business is strong contracts. Having a lawyer draft contracts for professional services and consulting is the best way to make sure that your business is protected in the event of a b
Reseller and OEM agreements
A reseller agreement is a legal contract that dictates how a business will sell goods from another company. The terms of the contract are important, and they control how failures to deliver or breaches of the contract’s terms will be handled.
Scientific Trade Secrets

Software Patent Applications

Technical Trade Secrets
Technology companies can be ruined if their trade secrets are revealed. It is critical to defend the information and processes that make your technology so competitive. An intellectual property attorney can help you keep your technology trade secrets safe.
Technology acquisition and sale agreements
You have likely invested heavily in your technology, so when it comes time to sell it, it is important to make sure that you get the best deal possible. An attorney can help you draft a sale agreement with customized terms that serve your interests and leave nothing to chance.
Trademarks
A trademark is legal protection for the name and design that identifies a brand to customers. If you have a business, your brand is invaluable. A trademark lawyer can help you protect your brand against infringement so that you can grow your business and retain your loyal customer base.
Utility Patents
A utility patent protects the way that something works or functions. If you have invented something or improved the mechanics of an existing invention, you may be able to protect your work by getting a utility patent. Schedule a consultation with a patent attorney to find out how.
Website Terms and Conditions and Terms of Use (TOU)

James Metcalf
The attorneys and staff at Shah IP are top notch. I’ve worked with many patent attorneys through my previous companies, and can tell you that no one can compare to the strategic, and data driven guidance that Shah and his team provided. You have to experience to believe what capable hands you are in. Also, in the past, when working with other attorneys, I felt like I had to do a lot of the heavy lifting to articulate and summarize my inventions. But my experience with Shah law was completely different. I talked strategy and business and they did all the hard work of sifting through the concepts to identify valuable and strategic IP. They are in a class of their own.
