    • Commericalize Your Innovationscanstockphoto11079083

      Commercializing your idea is more than selling a product.  We can guide you through near-term, mid-term and long-term liquidity events that are the true measure of commercial success.  Near-term opportunities include deploying an array of IP protections to maximize market share and to keep your competitors off balance.  Mid-term opportunities include arranging your IP to leverage capital markets to provide the resources needed to maximize market penetration.  Long-term opportunities often involve major liquidity events for the founders.

      Our business-focused approach to IP protection  includes managing the intellectual property aspects of various types of M&A transactions, from mergers, stock and asset based transactions to divestitures, and leveraged buyouts. We have represented buyers, sellers, management, venture capital investors, lenders, and other participants in public and private transactions.  We have also advised clients in negotiating technology agreements and other transactions in numerous industries and structures involving joint ventures and strategic partnerships, outsourcing, services, technology licensing, manufacturing, supply chain and distribution exclusivity, and joint development relationships.

      Three Lab IP can assist in negotiating contracts and licenses for whatever opportunity presents itself. We can also provide counsel in determining royalty fees and for negotiating transactional agreements.

    • Capturing Your Trade Secrets

      canstockphoto8171768

      While patent, copyright, and trademark law require that the intellectual property sought to be protected be publicly disclosed, trade secret law requires precisely the opposite.  To maintain trade secret protection, the information must be the subject of reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy.  It can be that easy.

      A trade secret can be virtually any information, as long as the information has economic value from not being generally known.  Trade secrets are relatively inexpensive to protect and potentially last forever.  We can help you structure a trade secret program that balances the need to deploy the trade secrets within your organization and to keep your valuable information out of the hands of your competitors.  Our trade secret protection services include:

      •Helping companies identify confidential and proprietary information

      •Identifying reasonable efforts necessary to maintain trade secrets

      •Preparing employee and contractor confidentiality agreements

      •Preparing non-disclosure agreements

    • IP Enforcement Consulting

      Intellectual property lawsuits are extraordinarily disruptive to your business, very expensive, and the outcomes uncertain.  When litigation is unavoidable, we can help you find the best litigation counsel for your problem and assist in managing the process so you can focus on what your do best – running your business.

    • Capturing Your Brand

      Trademark

      Protecting the name of your company, product, or service – and recognizing the opportunity to establish an identity in the marketplace – is vitally important to your future success.

      We can determine if someone is already using a name you have selected for your company or product – before you invest the time and money trying to make it your own. Or, if you already have a name established in the marketplace, we can show you how to police against any infringement or dilution of your mark’s value.

      •Developing trademark protection strategies

      •Preparing, filing, and prosecuting trademark applications in the United States and internationally
