The LJP Philosophy

Considering the cost and complexity of acquiring and asserting intellectual property rights through negotiations or in court, organizations need to be smart about their intellectual property-related expenditures. Yet they also cannot risk losing ideas to competitors.

Organizations need to purposefully develop intellectual property that has the greatest commercial or strategic value. And in litigation, they need to consider the most effective means of defense or assertion. That’s where having the input of experienced intellectual property counsel is crucial — and where LJP excels. 

From start to finish, LJP treats all of its clients with the same degree of care and consideration. From both a legal and business perspective, we try to anticipate and prepare for their potential as much as for their present. For example, when appropriate, we pursue business opportunities for our clients through such tools as strategic licensing, joint ventures and other agreements.

Whether working in patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret law, LJP covers the technological spectrum. Our clients range from companies in the high-tech and computer industries to medical device manufacturers and industrial manufacturers. Yet all of our clients share a desire to have their intellectual property portfolio handled as intelligently and efficiently as possible.

At LJP, we treat our clients’ creative output with the same care as if it were our own.

The LJP Culture
When hiring an intellectual property law firm, chances are great that you’re seeking more than simple processing assistance. Yes, you want people with the raw intellectual and analytical skills necessary to successfully add your innovations to the bottom line. But you also want sheer ability, loads of ambition and most important of all: advocacy for your needs.

With LJP, from our attorneys, agents and law clerks to our paralegals and support personnel, you will have people willing to be your tireless advocates.

• Want people who become so thoroughly familiar with your organization — and excited about what you’re doing — that they think of new approaches and solutions on their own time? You’ll find them at LJP.
• Need a patent application filed by the end of the day to safeguard an unexpected marketing opportunity? Again, you’ll find the people capable of doing so at LJP.

You see, at LJP, we firmly believe that advocacy leads to loyalty — and that loyalty has many dimensions. There’s the loyalty LJP creates with its clients, as we consistently deliver on our promises and expectations. And then there’s the loyalty that LJP fosters among the members of our legal team — at LJP, we genuinely respect and appreciate one another.

In the end, it’s a difference that our clients truly notice and appreciate. Clients come to us not because they have to, but because they want to. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
