Staas & Halsey LLP is a Washington, D.C.-based intellectual property law firm that provides IP solutions for businesses in the United States and around the world. Our intellectual property lawyers are available for consultation on issues related to intellectual property, from acquisition of patents and trademarks, to evaluation of third party IP rights and infringement, to obtaining IP licenses, t
o assessing mergers and acquisitions, to deciding whether to proceed with litigation. We assist clients in developing a comprehensive intellectual property portfolio to successfully maintain and enhance their competitive position within the marketplace. Through monitoring and evaluating competition, as well as detecting relevant technology trends, we can provide the information needed to make critical decisions and command the leading edge. Through careful coordination with our clients' management team, we aid in objectively valuating intellectual property such as patents, trademarks and copyrights and we structure licenses to achieve the most beneficial business terms. When unavoidable controversies arise, we promote a frank assessment of the tradeoffs associated with settlement while examining all of the alternatives. Over the past year, Staas & Halsey LLP has examined our competitors' patent work to get a better understanding of how we can help our clients. In doing so, we have discovered that in the case of claim lengths, our firm consistently creates the shortest independent claims, and implicitly the strongest claims, over many of our competitors. Our claims are even 66% shorter, in terms of claim length, than a number of other law firms. We pride ourselves at Staas & Halsey LLP in fighting for our clients and their claims, which is consistent with our award as one of the top Intellectual Property Law Firms in the world from IP Today for 2009 and our award as a small firm with the most mentions for 2003. At Staas & Halsey LLP, we tailor our intellectual property representation to fit our clients’ needs. Intellectual property protection is the foundation of our practice and our goal is to provide seamless service, technical understanding, and legal solutions that are creative as well as effective. We offer our commitment to provide the most personal service, most open communication and quickest response to your needs.
