Hudak, Shunk & Farine Co. LPA is dedicated to helping define and meet the specific needs of its clients with respect to obtaining, evaluating, licensing, exploiting, and protecting IP assets that include domestic and foreign patents, trademarks and copyrights, and encompass business considerations tangential to these property rights. For more than thirty-one years, we have built a diverse practice that includes global prosecution of patents; securing world-wide trademark rights; negotiating global licensing; acting as litigation counsel for patent and trademark plaintiffs and defendants; and helping entities from established industry-leading companies to new ventures define and meet their business objectives relating to IP assets through cost-effective cultivation of IP portfolios.
Each client possesses unique technology, and therefore specialized needs, to which we tailor our counseling. Our attorneys take pride in studying and learning our clients’ businesses and technologies so that we can better evaluate and provide strategic counseling with respect to their business decisions and intellectual property portfolios.
