SON tailors its services to meet our clients' needs. Please contact us to discuss the services that we can offer you. Some of the commonly requested SON® services include:

IP COUNSELING
Every client's situation is unique. Whether updating a current IP strategy or developing a new one, we help clients design creative solutions to reactively and/or proactively acquire and/or defend their intellectual property rights; oftentimes, a client's most valuable, but overlooked assets in today's marketplace.

PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT
SON helps clients build domestic and international portfolios of patents, trademarks, service marks, and copyrights. SON offers a full range of services in this regard such as drafting patent, trademark and copyright applications; prosecuting patent and trademark applications; appealing to Patent and Trademark Boards; and appealing Board decisions to courts of law.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
After clients invest in intellectual property portfolios, clients can often reap the benefits of such portfolios, for example, by exclusively or non-exclusively licensing all or limited rights to others or selling portions of these portfolios. SON offers a full range of services related to technology transfer of intellectual property rights.

DUE DILIGENCE AND AUDITS
SON offers clients services which monitor competitors' portfolios, audit clients' portfolios, evaluate portfolios for purposes of merger and acquisition, and research patents in particular technology areas to assess a freedom-to-practice in those areas.

LEGAL OPINIONS
We offer a full range of legal opinions, such as trademark registrability opinions, patentability opinions, non-infringement opinions, copyright opinions, enforceability opinions, and freedom-to-practice opinions.

LITIGATION
SON vigorously defends and brings suit, whether simple or complex, for clients across the nation in both federal and state courts while closely monitoring costs and maintaining our clients' competitive edge. Just a few examples of SON's litigation experience includes complex patent infringement, unfair competition, trade libel/slander, trademark infringement, domain name disputes, copyright infringement, general litigation, and litigation counseling and support services for our clients. In addition, SON has repeatedly lodged and defended trademark oppositions and cancellations before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
