An Overview of Our Intellectual Property Practice
Since 1964, the attorneys at Antonelli, Terry, Stout & Kraus, LLP, have represented a diverse client base of national and international companies in matters of intellectual property law in the United States and across the globe.
Located in Washington, D.C., our attorneys are highly experienced in all aspects of intellectual property law. Much of our work is in the area of patent prosecution in the United States and internationally. We also handle intellectual property litigation and matters related to trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets.
Patents
We use years of experience, technical and legal knowledge to serve clients throughout the United States and internationally in matters of patent law. Our clients benefit from our experience as former USPTO examiners, as well as our technical and scientific backgrounds. Attorneys at our firm can guide you through the patent process from the initial patentability study through the grant of patent rights and enforcement, if necessary.
We also have a great deal of experience in patent interferences. Based on this experience, we are able to guide our clients through the intricacies of U.S. interference practice to protect their rights to their inventions.

Copyrights
We assist businesses in controlling the use of creative work. To do so, we help our clients obtain copyright registrations, providing protection against infringement. If necessary, we also engage in copyright litigation to enforce copyrights in federal court.
Trademarks
When a word, name, symbol or device is critical to your business strategy, it is critical to protect it. Lawyers at Antonelli, Terry, Stout & Kraus, LLP, represent clients in matters of trademarks and trademark disputes. Our goal is to protect our clients' financial interests by resolving matters efficiently and cost-effectively.
Licensing
We assist in obtaining useful intellectual property and negotiating sound licensing agreements on behalf of a broad spectrum of corporate clients. Attorneys at our firm provide counseling and advice concerning the potential value of license agreements and assignments. We can develop technology disclosure and technology transfer agreements that help our clients avoid possible legal pitfalls.
Trade Secrets
Since trade secret protection can be as important as patent protection in certain circumstances, we regularly advise our clients regarding use of trade secrets, assisting them in keeping proprietary information — such as formulas, patterns, devices or compilations — private and secure.
