Electrical Prosecution and Counseling
Representative Clients
As creative and innovative as the technology companies it represents, Marshall, Gerstein & Borun early on emerged as a leader at the crossroads of intellectual property law and the electrical arts. Long before the then-new technologies became commonplace, we helped clients structure protections for innovations such as the PLATO computer-based teaching system (US Patent No. 3,405,457) and the first plasma display panel (U.S. Patent No. 3,559,190).
Today, Marshall, Gerstein & Borun continues our integral role in this dynamic field, working with clients at the cutting edge of technology, for example, securing protection for digital imaging technology (U.S. Patent No. 6,321,231).
We provide assistance to companies of all sizes for a variety of technologies in a wide range of industries. From communication networks, to the computer hardware and semiconductor devices that power these networks, to the software applications that make them operate, our extensive work in these areas illustrates our ability to comprehend and protect the next new technology. Our practice extends to representation of our clients before the United States Patent and Trademark and Copyright Offices – and beyond. With assistance from our extensive network of relationships with foreign patent law firms, we secure and protect the rights of our clients around the world.
Our attorneys, patent agents and technical specialists are accomplished in all areas of client representation, including litigation, prosecution, infringement avoidance and portfolio management. Our team members have solid industrial experience and hold technical degrees in electrical engineering or computer science.
