Firm

McCutcheon Joseph, PLLC was founded to serve two distinct but related purposes: the protection of intellectual property rights and the enforcement of those rights through contracts and litigation. Furthering those core purposes, the Firm’s Intellectual Property Prosecution section prosecutes domestic and foreign patent and trademark applications, counsels on licensing, and provides opinions on patentability, infringement, invalidity, and registrability.

The Firm’s Litigation section provides pre-litigation advice, assistance with drafting and negotiating contracts, including license agreements and other transactional work, and focuses on complex litigation related to intellectual property rights, business torts, contracts and personal injury.

The Firm’s leadership shares nearly one-hundred years of experience in guiding plaintiffs and defendants through difficult legal issues. We have been successful in a wide variety of cases, including injunctions, complex business tort trials, and lodging and defending prosecution-related matters before the USPTO, appellate boards and courts.

We aim to help strengthen clients’ rights through prosecution and, when necessary, litigation. However, we recognize that clients do not wish to be in the business of litigation, and to that end, we provide a significant amount of pre-litigation advice and counsel.
