Patent Law

I received an inquiry recently from a reader that was concerned about whether he was covering all of his legal options, but hesitant to retain an attorney.  I offered to provide him with the names of a few attorneys that handle patent infringement matters on contingency, but then yesterday I came across another possible resource.

The Intellectual Property Contingency Consortium is a group of law firms and licensing companies that assists clients - corporations and individuals - in the enforcement of patent, trademark, and copyright rights on a contingency basis.

From the West Coast to the East Coast, members of the Consortium can enforce your valuable intellectual property rights. The Consortium can scale attorney staffing up or down depending on the size of your litigation. The technical expertise of the Consortium members extends over a wide spectrum - from consumer goods to high technology.

If you would like a Consortium Law Firm Member to evaluate your case for possible representation, please email us at info@ipcontingency.com with a chronology of the events of your case, together with any relevant documents in pdf or Word format.

You should not consider a Consortium Law Firm Member to be representing you unless and until both you and the Consortium Law Firm(s) execute a written retention agreement for services.

They also offer links to companies that offer the following services:

• Damage Experts
• Liability Experts
• Prior Art Searchers
• Help in Identifying Potential Licensees & Infringers
• Litigation Tools for Winning Information
