Meet Our People

Practice areas

leadership

We know the value of sweat equity and help each
client maximize their investment.

Patents

Patent prosecution is fundamental to IP law and practice. Our sought-after team of patent attorneys and agents knows the domestic and international patent process inside and out.

Trademarks & Brand Protection

Marks and brands are irreplaceable commercial assets that reflect your image, reputation, and company identity — the essence and very meaning of your business.

Copyright

JMIN helps clients protect valuable works in various forms, then advises them on strategies to maximize those copyrights.

IP Strategy

You need a calculated strategic plan for how you and your organization will develop, protect, fortify, and monetize your portfolio of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and other IP assets.

IP Transactions

Intellectual property is just that — property. And like any asset, IP can be the subject of various contracts and agreements that share or transfer property rights and generate revenue.

Corporate & Business Transactions

For organizations and individuals that develop and invest in new products, services, and innovations, strategic business and corporate counsel are as important as strategic intellectual property counsel.

M&A Advisory

We scrutinize the details and relationships behind patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, domain names, and other proprietary assets central to M&A deals.

VC Due Diligence

Because of our vast legal knowledge, technical expertise, and cost-effective counsel, VC firms rely on JMIN to help them make those critical decisions.
