Core Service: Patents and Licenses

Intellectual property rights, including patents and licenses, are prized assets in modern product development. They serve as road maps in the pursuit of sustained profitable growth in competitive business environments. Our core service is based on two platforms of intellectual property rights:

  • Effective patents
  • Strategic licenses

An issued United States patent grants to the person or persons having the title to the patent, the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the invention throughout the United States of America for the term of 20 years from the filing date of the patent application.

Licensing the patent can provide the rights to making, using, and selling the invention in exchange for monetary fees and royalty payments, and other cross-licenses.
