 Jim Graziano, helps clients protect their intellectual property by developing patent portfolios in various high technology fields, with an emphasis on communications and the Internet. In his practice, Mr. Graziano gains an understanding of the client’s relevant product market, its competitors, the present technology and technology trends, the corresponding international perspective, legislative trends in the various countries of interest to the client, and licensing opportunities. He then integrates all of these factors into a coordinated intellectual property portfolio development plan that aggressively delimits the client’s present and future intellectual property rights. The patents filed in this process are broad in scope and interlocking in nature to present an eminently defensible patent position for the client.
