As explained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, a patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Generally, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States or, in special cases, from the date an earlier related application was filed, subject to the payment of maintenance fees.
U.S. patent grants are effective only within the United States, U.S. territories, and U.S. possessions.

As litigators, we know that the vast majority of litigation results in some kind of settlement and typically involves extensive negotiation and drafting of a settlement agreement.

In the world of patent and trademark infringement, those settlement agreements often involve licenses.
We have successfully negotiated and drafted license agreements involving highly complex cross licenses involving multiple parties to fairly simple non-exclusive licenses.

There are times when clients would prefer to keep their ideas, formulas and processes secret, as opposed to obtaining patent protection, which requires them to disclose their inventions and "secrets" to the public in exchange for a limited period of exclusivity in the market.
Trade secrets are fairly common for companies using formulas or processes that give them an advantage over competitors in their respective markets.
Most people think of Coca-Cola's secret formula for its Coke product as the ultimate trade secret.
