List of considerations for choosing an IP attorney
Before choosing an attorney with which you might spend thousands to protect your intellectual property, you should carefully consider your choice. Set forth below are a few important considerations for choosing an IP attorney. Even if you already have an IP attorney, it can be illuminating to get a second opinion from time to time.
-
Transparency. Does the attorney provide you with copies of any foreign associate invoices and disbursements? Payment of foreign associate invoices should not be profit-driven.
-
Access and service. Does the attorney return e-mails and calls within 24 hours?
-
Professional real-world experience. Has the attorney ever had their work tested in litigation? A surprising number of attorneys have never had their work tested, and therefore might be making critical mistakes.
-
Cost-effectiveness. Does the attorney routinely charge for every phone call and e-mail? A client should be able to contact their attorney with simple questions without a fear of getting charged for minor phone calls and e-mails.
