Professional integrity girds all client interactions.
That Thrasher Associates is the firm for start-up companies and inventors in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. All of our attorneys, technical writers, and paralegals have experience in the start-up environment, and understand the pressure crucible it is. We don't just think in terms of 'our service' being your solution, but have a rare ability to identify many hidden issues unique to start-ups and independent inventors, and then manage them.
That Thrasher Associates provides quality intellectual property (IP) advice for start-ups and individual inventors. We guide clients in all aspects of intellectual property, including invention identification, invention recording and disclosure, design-arounds, budgeting, IP Strategy mapping, IP valuation, patentability and infringement opinions, patenting, licensing, trade secrets, trade dress, trademarks and copyrights. We also have expertise in reviewing corporate documents, including IP provisions in employment agreements, merger and acquisition documents, confidentiality, non-compete, and non-use documents.
That the independent inventors deserve a personal attention. We offer access to experienced professionals who offer an average of more than fifteen years of intellectual property (IP) experience at a cost significantly lower than that offered by "large firms." We have among our clients successful licensees, start-ups, and nationally recognized inventors.
That start-up clients need professional assistance to identify, manage, and solve the many legal issues common to new business endeavors, without bringing in an army of attorneys. We provide IP advice and management, as well as free access to our rolodex of investors, as well as unique tools for training inventors and management about IP. Many start-ups consider us their 'Chief Intellectual Property Officers' (CIPO).
That we provide the experience that independent inventors, start-ups, and emerging companies need. Today, Thrasher Associates serves domestic and international clients, in most phases of intellectual property consultation, including budgeting, open-source compliance, patentability/infringement opinions, patenting, licensing, trade secrets, trademarks, trade dress, open source compliance, and copyrights. Our professionals have significant experience in all these areas, and have drafted hundreds of patent applications involving various types of mechanical, electrical, process, software, business method, e-commerce and composition inventions. Our professionals also have expertise in chemistry, including complex polymers, telecommunication technologies, and silicon wafer processing.
That public service helps keep clients and society informed about current legal issues. Our attorneys provide numerous intellectual property seminars for organizations such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Enterprise Forum, the Inventor's Association of Arizona, the Dallas Inventor's Association, and many other organizations. Our attorneys frequently publish, and their credits include many articles for scholarly journals, as well as a soon to be published book on copyright law. In addition, we have been interviewed by well-known media such as KTVT-8 in Dallas, the Dallas Business Journal, DFW Tech-Biz, CBS TV, and ABC radio. Please contact us if you have a media request.
