Our projects in support of legal counsel relate to our expertise in critical cleaning, surface quality, and contamination control.  We understand the relationship of manufacturing processes to employee safety and environmental regulations.  We also review product performance and are able to interpret chemical, physical, and biological analyses. 

We know you want to understand our experience in projects that support legal counsel.  At the same time, you worry that the project be treated in a discrete, confidential manner.  We agree.  Therefore, given the sensitive nature of these projects, we have expressed the examples in a generic manner. 

Patent Review, New Product  

“Patentese” is a language unto itself.  To protect your new product, it is very important to speak the language accurately.  We review prior art and work with the inventors and legal counsel to provide appropriate and comprehensive teaching of the invention.

Patent Disputes

Even a novel invention can be subject to attack by competitors claiming that prior art voids the patent.  We evaluate the teachings of the patent. in question. We work in the U.S. and internationally. We have testified before the International Patent Office in Munich, with very favorable results for the client.

Worker Safety Issues

OSHA requirements can be complex; even very conscientious, responsible companies can become enmeshed in legal problems.  We help you. Where there are OSHA concerns, we address the issue from a technical, scientific standpoint.  We are often able to effectively demonstrate that the client has taken the correct approaches to minimize hazards to employees.

Civil, Criminal, and Insurance Related Issues

Areas of involvement include environmental issues such as groundwater contamination, cleaning product design and performance, appropriate usage of cleaning agents and process fluids, and cleanliness/surface quality/contamination of manufactured product.
