Published Articles Law Firm Overview
The Law Office of Michael E. Kondoudis, a Washington, DC law firm, focuses exclusively on patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Our firm helps individuals, businesses, and clients of other law firms to protect their patentable inventions. We serve domestic and international clients looking for quality IP representation with cost simplicity and predictability.
We also serve as a resource to other attorneys and law firms. In fact, a significant portion of our practice is helping foreign law firms represent their clients before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Our valued clients represent a full spectrum of business, from multinational corporations to start-up companies to individuals. We are serious about IP law. We believe that IP law serves important, socially desirable functions in our society and that they are worthy of legal protection. If you are serious about protecting your IP, we welcome the opportunity to work with you.
For example, our nation’s patent laws encourage innovation by the private sector that benefits all of us. They encourage private-sector innovation by rewarding those who risk the capital, invest the time, apply their intelligence, or expend their effort in the inventive process. Also, by encouraging inventors to make their discoveries known instead of maintaining them in secret, our IP system increases the overall knowledge base available to the public. The briefest review of our nation’s history bears out the benefits of our patent system; the telephone, the light bulb, the radio, and the integrated circuit are all the result of private-sector innovation encouraged by our IP laws.

Practice Areas
Practice Areas Description
Our practice focuses on the following areas of Intellectual Property Law:- Patents
A primary focus of our practice relates to the acquisition, maintenance, and protection of domestic and foreign patents. We have experience with patent matters relating to a wide variety of technologies, including the mechanical, medical, electrical, and optical arts. We carefully and expertly guide clients through the patenting process, from the initial conception of an invention, an assessment of patentability, the preparation of an application, to high-quality prosecution of that application. We help clients draft and prosecute patent applications that withstand the most rigorous technical examination. We consider each filings strategic position in your patent portfolio, advice on strategies to secure additional product patent protection, and determine the best application procedure to use.
- Trademarks
We offer a full range of legal services relating to trademarks. Initially, we can advise you as to the availability, strength, and registrability of a trademark. Federal registration, although not required, has significant benefits, including: Providing constructive notice to the public of your claim of ownership of the mark; Creating a legal presumption that you own the mark and have exclusive right to use the mark nationwide on, or in connection with, the goods and/or services listed in the registration; Permitting enforcement of your trademark rights in Federal Court; Serving as a basis to obtain registration in foreign countries; and Allowing you to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods.
- Copyrights
We offer a full range of legal services relating to copyrights, including: Counseling clients regarding protection and use of works subject to copyright protection; Performing copyright searches and rendering opinions as to the potential use of works possibly subject to copyright; Preparing, filing and prosecuting copyright registration applications; Rendering infringement, validity and ownership opinions relating to copyrights; Negotiating, drafting and recording copyright licenses, assignments and other contracts relating to copyrights; and Handling copyright related disputes, and handling litigation relating to copyright matters.
- Trade Secrets
Maintaining confidential information as a trade secret may or may not be a company’s best option for protecting the information. The answer for your company depends on many individual factors. We can help you determine if keeping information a trade secret is best for your company. When maintaining information as a trade secret is best, we can help by: developing and implementing corporate trade secret protection programs; identifying trade secrets; preparing employment and other confidentiality agreements; and pre-litigation counseling. Conversely, when the protections of patent law will better meet your needs, we can guide you through that process as well.
