Innovative companies rely on seasoned patent counsel to turn new ideas into a durable competitive advantage. CM Law’s partner‑level attorneys work collaboratively with inventors, business leaders, and in‑house teams to evaluate emerging technologies and develop practical plans for protecting them. Our client‑minded approach focuses on aligning patent strategy with business goals—helping clients make informed decisions in fast‑moving and crowded technology landscapes. 

Our patent prosecution & strategy practice spans early‑stage analysis through portfolio development and monetization.

CM Law’s attorneys regularly assist clients with: 

• Invention evaluation and prior art analysis 
• Patentability, freedom‑to‑operate, validity, and infringement opinions 
• Competitive threat assessment and design‑around strategy 
• Preparation and prosecution of U.S. and international patent applications 
• Strategic licensing support and coordination with transactional and litigation teams 
• Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings and Post-Grant Review (PGR) proceedings 
• Covered Business Method (CBM) review proceedings 
• Patent Due Diligence Review 
• IP Audits

Our attorneys work closely with clients to identify the most meaningful and protectable aspects of new technology—whether best addressed through patent protection, trade secret strategy, or a combination of both. All patent prosecution is handled by partner attorneys registered before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, each with relevant technical backgrounds. International filings are managed through our coordinated global network, allowing clients to pursue consistent, cost‑effective protection across jurisdictions while maintaining flexibility as technologies and markets evolve.
