SW+B helps inventors, entrepreneurs, and business owners protect and leverage their intangible assets with an intellectual property
practice that scales to the budgets and ambitions of emerging companies. We strive to learn each client’s business inside and out, and then custom-build an IP strategy by selecting the most cost-effective combination of trademark, copyright, patent and trade secret law that gets the job done.

SW+B routinely assists clients in choosing and protecting a name for a new business or product line. We perform trademark availability searches, evaluate potential conflicts with existing products or services, and file applications with U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. SW+B protects our clients’ brands, original content, graphics, and other creative works halting unauthorized uses with cease-and-desist letters. We also help companies evaluate cease-and-desist letters they receive, and develop an effective response.

SW+B has a registered patent attorney on staff to help clients evaluate the patentability of their “secret sauce” and other innovations.
We routinely draft licensing agreements for all types of IP, and help clients understand the role IP plays in the value and negotiation of deals and contracts. SW+B can also help clients implement a trade secret protection strategy.
