A Silicon Valley Patent Boutique
Paradice & Li LLP represents emerging and established technology companies in the United States and internationally, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies.
Patent drafting and prosecution are at the center of our practice, but our perspective extends beyond obtaining patents. We consider how claims fit within a broader portfolio, how prosecution choices affect future flexibility, how patents may be evaluated by competitors and investors, and how they may ultimately perform in licensing, post-grant proceedings, or litigation.
That broader perspective informs the work from the beginning.
