Semiconductors, Hardware, and Electronics

We have experience with technologies like advanced circuitry, digital cameras and imaging systems – all important components in a larger shift toward the Internet of Things (IoT) – and several of our lawyers and patent agents hold their own patents in these fields. We have depth of experience in the semiconductor space, including microprocessors, graphics processors and other chipsets.

When our clients expand internationally, we help with tax planning, regulatory compliance, establishment of new entities and compliance with local laws for employment, benefit plans and company policies. We have also managed complex international IP portfolios and have guided companies in procuring, monetizing and defending patents in the US and Europe.
