Intellectual property law is, at its most basic level, the protection of creativity and innovation. I feel my role as an intellectual property attorney is to not only help clients protect their creativity and innovation to the fullest extent possible, but also to help them leverage their intellectual property rights in accomplishing their business objectives.
