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.

I have specialized in First Amendment and anti-SLAPP issues since 1993, and have written and lectured widely on the California anti-SLAPP law.  My anti-SLAPP expertise has been recognized in four appellate opinions.  I am a 1972 graduate of Harvard Law School and a member of the California Bar.  I have prevailed in many SLAPP cases, including seven resulting in published appellate opinions, including the first such opinion by the California Supreme Court.. I am also President of the Board of Directors of the Public Participation Project, which is leading the campaign for federal anti-SLAPP legislation.
