Our clients not only love our patent advice, but we also excel at building and managing complex, large global trademark portfolios. The public databases don’t let us show our trademark work as easily as our patent work, but give us a call and we’ll tell you more about our expertise in trademarks.
At PCK we like to maintain an open dialogue about fees and value. We believe each client must be satisfied he or she is getting the right mix of services, at the right level and the right value.
Our diverse and experienced team of IP professionals and our advanced use of technology and project management skills allow us to adapt our services and fees structures to suit individual client needs. We offer competitive, flexible fee and service arrangements that you and your financial managers will like.
We would be pleased to talk to you about our approach to budget and resource management and discuss our various structures including fixed-fee, capped, project or per-service rates that balance your budget, risk profile and priorities.
