Our Services

Before taking a product to market, you need to know you’re not running head-on into an infringement suit. You may know that your competitor has patents and you need to clarify what is covered and whether you can design around them. For this, you need a Freedom to Operate (FTO) study. We help you identify what patents you need to be aware of and give you the peace of mind that any patent-related risk factors have been examined and properly assessed.

Once you’ve got a patent, it’s time to have your patent work for you. Be it by maintaining exclusivity for your product in the marketplace, or through licensing the patent for others to use. We assist our clients in strategizing their IP and commercializing their inventions to best fit their business model. Over the years, our legal department has drafted numerous licensing agreements, exclusive or non-exclusive. Licensing agreements are an excellent way to allow you to harvest and enjoy the fruits of your R&D efforts while other parties practice and exploit your inventions.

When your IP is infringed upon, and you are looking for someone to enforce your rights, you want an experienced legal team to work on your behalf. In some cases, a simple warning letter may be enough; in other cases litigation may be required. We at Dr. Mark Friedman Ltd. always focus on attempting to turn any infringement case to a licensing agreement, assisting you by turning lemons into lemonade.
