Yoshida & Dunleavy, LLC specializes in intellectual
property law, which includes patents, trademarks, trade dress and
Lanham Act issues, copyrights, trade secrets and related business and
employment issues.
Our firm strives to provide intellectual property counseling that is
carefully tailored to the specific needs and goals of the client. We
provide strategies and solutions that optimize the complex and often
competing business, technological and legal concerns that are commonly
found in businesses that are active in the technology sector. With our
guidance, our clients adopt business practices that will maximize their
intellectual property assets and reduce the risk of liability with a
minimum of cost and disruption to research and development,
manufacturing and sales.
We ensure efficient and reliable service, client confidentiality and
security as well as convenient access to our professionals with our
modern information technology and telecommunications infrastructure.
Our well-trained support staff has experience in a wide array of U.S.,
European and international intellectual property procedures.
U.S.
and International Patent Prosecution
The core of our practice involves the strategic preparation,
submission, direction and maintenance of patent applications and
patents in the United States, the European Union, Japan, China and
other important markets throughout the world. Our firm has capabilities
that are relatively unique, such as the ability to practice both the
United States Patent and Trademark Office and before the European
Patent Office and our ability to counsel clients directly and fluently
in the Japanese language, as well as in Dutch. Our attorneys and agents
include three former members of the examining corps of the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and together have successfully
prepared and prosecuted thousands of United States and
European patents over the past two decades, as well as hundreds of
patents and design registrations in other countries.
Our professionals have top academic credentials in both law and
technology and have practical and academic backgrounds in such
disciplines as engineering, chemistry, biology, physics and computer
science. We have consistently demonstrated the ability to understand
and protect even the most advanced and esoteric technologies.

U.S.
Intellectual Property Litigation and Management
KY&D attorneys also are active in
both the
enforcement of
intellectual property in U.S. courts as well as in
the
defense of such cases. KY&D has also effectively managed patent
litigation in venues across
the United States for its corporate and international clients.
We
can aid in the selection of local litigation counsel, negotiate
preferred rates, provide strategic guidance and also serve as
settlement counsel in negotiations with the opposing party.
Contact us
for more information on our litigation and litigation management
services.
Corporate
Intellectual Property Counsel Services
KY&D also provides mid-sized clients
with outsourced corporate counseling services such as portfolio and
litigation management that would otherwise require expensive in-house
counsel.
These services include the strategic management of
such
issues as corporate security management in order to preserve
enforceability of trade secrets, employment agreements and restrictive
covenants, corporate IP manuals and policies, management of
relationships with independent contractors so as to preserve
intellectual property rights and periodic industry monitoring for
potentially relevant patents and published patent applications.
Contact us for more
information on our corporate intellectual property counsel services.
Protection
of Industrial Designs
Aesthetic aspects of a commercial product are often worth protecting if
they provide a commercial advantage to the manufacturer.
In the United States, industrial designs may be protected
inexpensively through the strategic concurrent use of design patents,
copyrights and trademarks.

information on our industrial design protection services.
