If you already have a patent and you seek a lawyer of intellectual property enforcement for Texas patent infringement, or for infringement anywhere in the United States, an experienced and highly qualified intellectual property litigation attorney from Goldstein, Faucett & Prebeg can guide you along the path to enforcing your property rights
The complexity of the United States patent laws and regulations, the requirements for obtaining a patent, and the rights granted with a patent can be misunderstood or misinterpreted by persons who are untrained or unfamiliar with patents. To minimize these misunderstandings, patent owners and inventors often retain the services of an intellectual property litigation lawyer to assist in the procurement of a patent or in patent enforcement through a patent infringement cause of action. The patent litigation lawyers at Goldstein, Faucett & Prebeg are experienced and prepared to assist patent owners (whether an individual inventor or a large company) in the procurement and enforcement of patents.
A patent is an official document issued by the United States Government giving the owner (either the inventor(s) or his assignee) the right to exclude others from making, using, offering to sell, or selling her invention in the United States for the life of the patent. The life of a United States patent is typically twenty (20) years from the day that the application for the patent was filed. The United States grants this exclusionary (legal monopoly) property right to encourage the public to fully disclose technical advances and improvements so that, through this disclosure, further technical innovation can be undertaken. While developing new technological advances and obtaining United States patent rights can be costly, the expense may be justified by the exclusionary rights that give the patent owner the opportunity to profit from his/her valuable and innovative work.
Goldstein, Faucett & Prebeg is flexible in negotiating contingent fee patent litigation and alternative billing arrangements, with the range of rates depending on the nature of the case. The fee can also be based upon a mixed hourly/partial contingency fee arrangement.
