Bacon & Thomas, PLLC

At Bacon & Thomas, our staff of attorneys and agents brings global vision to your intellectual property (“IP”) world. We have patent, trademark, and copyright experience coupled with a solid base of superior technical capabilities, effective communication skills, and in-depth knowledge of the U.S. patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright systems as well as IP systems outside the United States. We routinely work with both domestic and international entities, ranging from single innovators to large firms, requiring intellectual property services. Our clients include domestic and foreign companies, universities, and individuals whom we represent before U.S. patent, trademark, and copyright offices; U.S. district and appellate courts; and foreign patent and trademark administrative agencies. Our experienced attorneys are registered to practice by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and provide counsel and representation in the evaluation, protection, enforcement, and licensing of intellectual property spanning a wide spectrum of technologies in the mechanical, electrical, biotechnical, and chemical sciences and extending to modern business and information processing models. Our clientele particularly values our close presence to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the familiarity our attorneys and agents have with regard to the intricacies of IP laws within the government agencies responsible for administering such laws and regulations. Apart from preparation and prosecution of domestic and foreign patent and trademark applications, the firm’s services include offensive and defensive litigation, patent interferences, licensing, and transaction matters involving intellectual property legal issues. We are also experienced in evaluating patentability of ideas, conducting due diligence investigations, preparing opinions on patent and trademark infringement issues, and counseling clientele on domestic and foreign patent and trademark protection strategy.
