Sughrue protects ideas - all ideas - and for half a century we have been helping our clients develop, obtain, protect and leverage property rights born of their intellectual capital. From a submicroscopic sequence of DNA to a vast constellation of satellites circling the globe, from publicity rights to the goodwill of a universally known brand, this is the universe of ideas we explore. And when it comes to serving our clients, we go beyond traditional boundaries, advocating innovative theories and redefining the frontiers of law as they apply to creativity and invention. Protecting intellectual property - the property of ideas - demands experience, substantive knowledge and a commitment to the client's needs. Sughrue rises to meet these challenges every day. How do we demonstrate this to our clients? Through: -understanding the significance and value of each idea defining our clients' rights and expressing them in a way that maximizes legal enforceability and utility; -protecting those rights in the courts, administrative agencies and tribunals; and -developing and adding value to those same rights through licensing, technology transfers and others types of intellectual property rights transactions.
