10 intellectual property attorneys are listed in San Francisco, covering patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, licensing agreements and infringement litigation.
The field divides sharply. Filing a patent requires an attorney registered with the USPTO and a technical background; trademark and copyright work does not, and IP litigation is a discipline of its own. Match the specialism to the asset.
Deal with rights before disclosure. Public disclosure or sale can destroy patent rights, and ownership disputes with employees and contractors are avoidable with a written agreement.
