Patent Infringement Investigation and Analysis

Urban Law Offices reviews the claims of a patent and compares them against the features of the competing product or process. The firm conducts technical evaluations, builds claim charts, and gathers documentation regarding the alleged unauthorized use. This process determines the technical basis for a formal infringement claim before filings occur.

Cease and Desist Letters

The firm drafts and sends formal cease and desist notices to parties engaging in unauthorized manufacturing, sales, or distribution. These documents outline the patent rights, specify the conflicting activity, and demand a halt to the utilization of the technology. This step initiates formal communication and provides an opportunity for compliance prior to court intervention.
