Specialties
InterContinental IP handles patents, trademarks, copyrights and other general issues related to inventing and protecting/trying to make money from your intellectual property. We charge fixed prices for all of our patent, trademark and copyright filings, so the client knows exactly what the charge will be before we do the work. In the event of an initial rejection, we will quote a fixed fee for responding.
We have successfully obtained well over 1,000 patents, trademarks and copyrights in the US and many foreign countries. Our Managing Attorney, Eric Hanscom, has extensive experience in the Asian manufacturing scene and brings his first hand knowledge to our clients’ international concerns. We also have of-counsel attorneys who are software developer/patent attorneys, business attorneys and litigators.
We are located right by Palomar Airport in Carlsbad and initial 30 minute consultations are always free.
