Kelsey Stout Intellectual Property is a legal practice focused solely on technology clients. This typically starts with filing patent applications, but also covers licensing & transfer, enforcement & litigation, business development, research, planning, vision and traditional counsel.. For established enterprises, this means identification of existing intellectual property assets. This also means a strategy for developing new ones, with understanding of patent laws and in light of the business realities of evolving technologies. Sometimes it means rescuing old patent filings. It means developing personal relationships with client principals, researchers, engineers, designers and sales in order to understand the client’s industry, technology and competition.. For startups, it means personal counsel through the first patent filing and planning for the second. It can mean business formation, valuation of the patent filings for investors, advice on funding & incubation, licensing & acquirement, timing on publication and guidance toward a minimum viable product that is patentable.. It can mean interface patents, hardware, circuitry, software, chemistry, materials, fabrication and a few new areas where we are still writing the law. It means an experienced operator giving the material as much time as it requires. It never means impersonal efforts from a junior attorney working on the clock.. For what you create, the future is not yet written. Begin to write it, with KSIP.

Clients of Berkeley, California Attorney Zev Hardman include artists, creatives and other important people. Specializing in top-quality legal advice and services, Attorney Zev Hardman leverages the law, technology, creativity and experience to always put his client first.

Before I was an attorney, I spent approximately 10 years in the restaurant industry.  I also started and ran a painting contracting company during college.  Even in those non-legal positions, I found myself advocating for others who did not have much of a voice.  Often these were low-level employees whose employers took advantage of them because they were young, female, immigrants, or did not speak fluent English.. Since graduating from law school in 1998, I have worked on a wide variety of cases, and for an even wider variety of people and businesses.  Since starting my own firm in 2000, I have represented only small businesses and individuals--typically against wealthy individuals and powerful corporations.  Although these defendants generally can afford the most expensive law firms, I have found that I can obtain justice for my clients through persistent and creative litigation.. Thank you for reviewing my profile.  If you would like to speak about a potential legal matter, please feel free to call me or send me an email.. - Anthony
