Firm Profile
We are a boutique IP firm focusing only on IP work. Our intellectual property work consists of approximately 90% patents and 10% trademarks. Approximately 1/3 of work is from local clients, 1/3 is from national clients, and 1/3 is from European clients.
Patent work can generally be divided into the technical side of the business (opinions, applications and prosecution) and the non-technical side of the business (litigation). We focus on the technical side of the business and our attorneys have strong technical backgrounds, most with industry experience.
Unlike some law firms that provide IP legal services on a “take-it-or-leave-it-basis”, we tailor our services to meet the needs of our individual clients. Hence our motto – Your IP. Your Way!™
THE TAYLOR IP DIFFERENCE
EXPERIENCE WITHOUT THE HIGH PRICE TAG™
IP is the lifeblood of many companies, whether your business employs thousands or singles. Your IP allows you to stake your claim in the market and prevent competitors from exploiting your research and development.
IP attorneys must have a diverse skillset to properly protect IP. Not only must your IP attorney understand your product and business, as well as the relevant laws, but also how IP rights can be thwarted by would-be infringers. IP attorneys must also understand the limits of IP in the marketplace to properly advise your business on the boundaries of where you can freely operate. These types of skills do not come overnight and must be developed over years of practice and training.
At Taylor IP, all of our attorneys have been registered patent attorneys for at least 10 years. We have all worked with companies large and small to protect their IP and their business interests in the marketplace. We leverage that experience to provide valuable insight and get great results.
We do not treat any case as a “training exercise” for newer (supervised) attorneys to gain experience. This allows us to be cost-efficient by reducing the number of attorneys that need to work on any case and the associated charge. Our experience also allows us to quickly identify the core issues of your case and provide counsel without needing to do hours and hours of research.
When you work with Taylor IP, you know that you are working with an experienced IP attorney who will provide great service at a comparable (or lower) price to what other firms may charge for their newer attorneys to train on your case.
