Kaplan Intellectual Property Law was founded with the passionately-held belief and recognition that legal rights related to intellectual property drive much of the world’s economy.
Intellectual property assets can provide opportunities to secure capital, build value, expand markets for goods and services, establish consumer recognition and market preferences, provide competitive boundaries, secure market advantages, carve out rights and responsibilities in the marketplace, and exercise control over resources used to manufacture, sell, distribute, import, and use valuable, IP-based assets. Our firm represents clients across a broad cross-section of industries and technology areas, including high-tech, clean/green-tech, water technologies, energy, computer technologies, medical devices, and broad-based mechanical technologies, including packaging, construction, fabrication, and related technologies.
