Patents, Utility Models & Employee Inventions
Overview
Patents and utility models are core assets of technological competitiveness, making rights acquisition strategy and dispute response critical.
In particular, employee inventions can escalate into disputes if compensation frameworks and rights attribution design are inadequate.
Multilayered issues such as infringement, invalidity, and scope of rights must be resolved through technical understanding and meticulous legal review.
A comprehensive strategy linking filing, portfolio management, and contracts from the R&D stage is required.
The LIN IP Team provides integrated advisory encompassing technology, business, and legal perspectives.
