At Stipkala LLC, we focus on each client's intellectual property needs, whether "defensive IP" - avoiding the infringement of others' rights, or "protective IP" - protecting and enforcing the client's rights against infringers and copyists. We apply many tools, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, licensing, freedom-to-operate analysis, opinions and counseling, and litigation. Our patent attorneys hold advance degrees in biotechnological and chemical disciplines. Some have served as Patent Examiners at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Significantly, we provide intellectual property legal services to advance the client's business goals. And, we deliver that service at market-competitive rates that reflect extensive market research and significant efforts to keep our costs low.
