Our Advantage

Our attorneys are computer patent specialists with computer science expertise. Robert Plotkin holds a degree in computer science and engineering from MIT, while Cynthia Gilbert holds a degree in computer science and mathematical philosophy from Brandeis University. Our clients turn to us because we:

• Specialize in obtaining strong, broad, defensible software patents for our clients
• Strive to maximize protection against competitors
• Work to maximize the value of patent portfolios for sale and acquisition
• Craft patent properties with increased signaling strength to investors, partners, and acquirers

In addition, we also assist with international patent protection. Our extensive, hand-selected network of leading international law firms provides our clients with the necessary breadth and depth to create, grow, manage, and enforce patent portfolios worldwide in every jurisdiction.

We maintain close relationships with all of our foreign law firms so that our clients obtain responsive, effective, and efficient service, whether filing a single patent application in a foreign country, enforcing a patent in a foreign court, or selling an entire patent portfolio in a multinational transaction.
