Computers, Electronics & Software Practice Group

Computers, electronics and software continue to represent the key components of rapidly expanding high-tech areas in which companies, if they wish to remain competitive, must continuously innovate. As the capabilities of computing devices and the complexity of systems increase, companies must continuously integrate additional features and functions to existing product lines, which produce an array of patentable inventions. Understanding this, Cook Alex’s Computer, Electronics & Software Practice Group proactively works with clients to devise successful strategies to protect potential and existing commercial and industrial products and solutions.

In addition, Cook Alex has broad experience with all types of software from operating systems and user interfaces to a wide variety of consumer and industrial application programs. We have extensive experience in the prosecution of software patent applications and have counseled clients on validity and infringement of software patents in many diverse fields. Further, we have implemented copyright registration programs in the United States and have advised on international protection of software via copyright and trade secret laws.

With legal and technical experience gained through Cook Alex’s diverse litigation and prosecution activities, our attorneys are adept at developing realistic strategies for growing and managing clients’ intellectual property portfolios. These benefits also extend to our approach towards helping clients procure domestic and international patents, trademarks and copyrights, as well as obtain technology transfer and licensing agreements, and assist in standards integration and patent pooling.
