The firm’s primary intellectual property service areas.
Each area below leads to more specific detail on how OG&P helps clients structure, protect, maintain, and use intellectual property assets.
PATENTS
Portfolio development, clearance and patentability work, U.S. and international prosecution, and strategic counseling for evolving technologies.
TRADEMARKS
Brand selection, clearance, domestic and international prosecution and maintenance, TTAB-related matters, monitoring, and broader brand protection strategy.
COPYRIGHTS
Registration, licensing, drafting for creation and use, and copyright counseling involving content, software, publishing, advertising, and related business assets.
TRADE SECRETS
Trade secret audits, confidentiality strategy, employee and vendor protections, internal controls, and preservation of rights in the U.S. and abroad.
LITIGATION
Support in disputes involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, ownership, enforcement, licensing, and related commercial conflicts and risks.
TRANSACTIONAL IP
Licensing, due diligence, joint development, employment and consulting agreements, website, promotions, advertising, and other IP-driven commercial arrangements.
WHEN IP ISSUES SHOW UP
Many matters become IP matters before clients realize they have crossed into one.
OG&P is often brought in when launch plans, confidentiality, brand use, ownership questions, portfolio decisions, or commercial arrangements begin affecting real business strategy.
BEFORE LAUNCH OR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE
Assess what should be patented, registered, copyrighted, kept confidential, or contractually controlled before the window narrows.
WHEN CLEARANCE OR AVAILABILITY NEEDS AN ANSWER
Evaluate names, marks, patents, or related rights before rollout, investment, adoption, or public-facing use.
WHEN OWNERSHIP OR USE MUST BE STRUCTURED
Clarify who owns what, who may use it, and how rights should be documented across employees, vendors, partners, and deals.
WHEN ENFORCEMENT, DUE DILIGENCE, OR LITIGATION MATTER
Support audits, transactions, investigations, litigation positioning, and enforcement decisions where IP value must be understood.
RELATED IP WORK
The practice extends beyond the five headline categories.
OG&P also handles the adjacent work that often determines how rights are cleared, commercialized, monitored, and maintained over time.
NEED HELP FINDING THE RIGHT LANE?
If the matter touches more than one issue, OG&P can help sort the next step.
Many matters involve overlap among filings, confidentiality, agreements, clearance, ownership, and commercial use. Start the conversation and the firm can help identify where the work belongs.
