PPG lawyers leverage legal, business, and scientific strategies to help our clients achieve their goals and guard against legal challenges.

We immerse ourselves in understanding our client’s objectives in order to tailor strategies that best achieve their short-and long-term objectives. Mindful of the financial investments required to develop a comprehensive patent portfolio, we take a structured, phased approach and meet the client wherever they may be on the development continuum:
  • Initially, we focus on securing broad patents that cover key technologies. These can have varying claim scope in order to provide the most diversified protection.
  • We create a multifaceted portfolio to give our clients an advantage in licensing deals and position them for joint ventures or research collaborations, including licensing-in patents as well as defensive patents in competition-heavy areas.
  • We protect trademarks and trade secrets, including protecting names or symbols by filing intent to use trademark applications early on in development.
  • When patent protection is not viable or appropriate, we help devise mechanisms to protect their innovations as trade secrets.
Right from the start, we knew we were moving into an overcrowded patent landscape. Since we were the first to bring a real product to market, we needed a patent firm that could help us navigate that and capture real market value in our IP portfolio. PPG provided that for us.
