Patents

The Credere Law, located in Palo Alto, California, provides legal counsel and representation in all areas of patent law. United States patent law has recently undergone dramatic changes with the passage of the America Invents Act (AIA). The changes include moving from first-to-invent to first-to-file, establishing new inter parties, post-grant and covered business methods review of patents, and providing for prioritized and fast-track examinations. We help clents understand and navigate these changes.

We help entrepreneurs and businesses in the United States and in foreign countries protect their innovations by obtaining broad enforceable patents. Patent claims need to be broad enough to prevent the theft of the inventive concept yet narrow enough to be novel and nonobvious. Our firm understands this delicate balance. We have the experience necessary to prepare patent claims thatare sufficiently broad to encompass infringement while still avoiding the prior art.
