With 30 years of courtroom experience, I have dedicated my practice virtually exclusively to Matrimonial and Family Law.  Achieving success both in and out of the courtroom requires skillful lawyering, and understanding the importance of divorcing parents to be actively involved in their children’s formative years by creating a comprehensive Parenting Plan Agreement to allow for parental participation.  It has been my practice to incorporate the client as part of the “team” to achieve the best results for my clients. A winning effort starts with detailed preparation of both attorney and client.  When the foundation is solid, so is the case.  Methodical and meticulous, I am well versed in the strategy necessary to bring your case to a positive conclusion.

Vincent G. LoTempio-Registered Patent Attorney. My mission as an IP Attorney is to help people recognize, protect and profit from their good ideas. As a Registered Patent Attorney based in Buffalo, New York, I focus on all types of Intellectual Property law.. As an IP attorney, I file patent and trademark applications in the United States and abroad. I manage large corporate patent and trademark portfolios, and have established associations with hundreds of Intellectual Property law firms around the world. I have extensive experience in patent and trademark prosecution, patent and trademark infringement litigation, trademark registration and copyright registration.. As a Corporate IP Consultant, I recognize that intellectual property is a highly valuable corporate asset and exploiting that asset to make a profit is paramount to corporate success. While working with corporate management I implement patent, trademark and copyright policies meant to streamline and efficiently centralize the management of the corporation’s intellectual property. I train corporate employees to identify intellectual property and maintain proper records in template corporate disclosure documents to preserve intellectual property rights.. I organize an IP committee comprised from selected members of corporate management to periodically review the corporate disclosure documents with the inventors to determine the feasibility of manufacturing, marketing and most importantly return on investment (ROI). I oversee implementing the strategy of protecting the company’s intellectual property by obtaining patent protection, by maintaining the technology as a trade secret or the implementation some other strategy such as setting up a defensive publication to shield the company from litigation.. As an Inventor Consultant, I analyze new inventions to determine feasibility of patentability and commercialization. Inventors are often interested in entering into licensing agreements to profit from their invention. Our office acts as a broker of royalty deals by establishing contact with manufacturers and marketers positioned to bring new products to the national market. We also engage in the preparation of licensing/royalty agreements.. As a Lecturer on the topic of IP management for businesses and corporations I teach corporate employees (for example, research and development, manufacturing, marketing departments and corporate management) how to identify and protect valuable Intellectual Property such as patentable subject matter.. As a blog author, I hope to provide a robust resource for info regarding intellectual property law and other interesting stuff. The ever-changing complexities of the law concerning intellectual property make it difficult for practitioners and inventors alike to stay abreast of the latest law and news. As time moves forward, I hope to add interesting and valuable articles containing information regarding changes in the law and trends in the IP community.. As a person, my style is informal and approachable. I have two beautiful daughters and a wonderful, patient and supportive wife who puts up with all my idiosyncrasies.I’m a sports nut and enthusiastic fan of the Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills and the NY Yankees which I will blog about from time to time.. I am an amputee; in 1972 I lost my right hand in an accident. Despite having the use of only one hand I have played on varsity high school and college sports teams. Thus, I have a personal interest in ADA legislation and innovation in science and technology with regard to prosthetic devices. I plan on writing about new prosthetic innovations, legal, practical and motivational issues involving amputees.. I have appeared on History Channels’ “Million Dollar Genius” as the patent attorney for Wayne Fromm, inventor of the Quikpod; or better known as the “Selfie Stick”.. Today I stay active by participating in tennis, ice hockey and swimming. I am always in the middle of reading one or two books, and so I plan on reviewing many different types of books as part of my blog experience.

I was inspired to pursue a specialization in mediation after spending an extended period of time in Europe where mediation is a commonly practiced alternative to litigation.  I observed it to be a kinder and gentler method for resolving conflict, and the participants highly motivated to cooperate and collaborate respectfully as they focused on the mutual goal, a fair and equitable agreement.

I have been an attorney for 20 years.  For the first 18 years I worked in a very high volume firm handling hundreds of cases at a time.  My practice has included Social Security Disabiity matters from application,to appeals in Federal District Court, and Bankruptcy matters including Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases for individuals and small businesses.  I have also handled Long Term Disability Matters under ERISA abd debt settlment matters.  I sucessfully helped thousands of individuals with their disability and financial issues during that time.. In February, 2014, I opened my own law practice and by doing so was able to handle and much smaller caseload and give my clients the personal attention that they deserve.  I have found a much greater sense of satisfaction and can truly enjoy the practice of law.. My clients very often tell me that I am not like other attorneys because they feel very comfortable talking to me, they know that I care about their situation and they know that I am the person personally working on their case.. With a smaller practice, I am able to provide flexibile appointment times in person. With a smaller practice, I can provide quick efficient and compassionate service to those with financial difficulties.  Finally, with a smaller practice, I can charge more affordable fees because I can obtain my clients by word of mouth and referrals from attorneys and prior clients, rather than television commercials.. If you are unable to work because of a disability or are facing financial difficulties, please call me for a free consultation.

I am committed to making the attorney client relationship for my clients as positive as possible. The clients that I represent are often anxious and uncertain about what the future holds for them. I try to keep my clients as informed as possible so as to reduce their anxiety. I have 25 plus years of experience and I am well respected by my peers and the courts. I compassionately represent my clients.
