BEIDER IP
Working to Protect Your Intellectual Property Rights
BEIDER IP specializes in patent prosecution, patentability searching, as well as freedom-to-operate searching and analysis. In addition to general patent prosecution and portfolio management, we take great pleasure in assisting clients in the strategic planning of their IP portfolios, based upon their business objectives, R&D objectives, patentability/FTO issues, and general analysis of competitors' portfolios. We assist clients who are undergoing due diligence, as well as assisting potential investors in their due diligence efforts.
Team
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Our team of patent attorneys have all had experience working at leading IP firms and each of them has over a decade of experience. We are here to help you build a strategic patent portfolio that will protect your business interests.
Affiliate firms and foreign associates
We pride ourselves in our careful selection of affiliate firms and foreign associates.
Affiliate firms
We are honored to work in close collaboration with Luke Dohmen of Dohmen IP (www.dohmeniplaw.com), as well as Daniel Light of Cohen, Light, Ziv and Associates (www.cohenlightziv.com). Luke draws upon his vast experience to provide our clients with the perspective of large medical device firms with respect to Israeli start-ups and their IP portfolios. Luke also assist our clients on matters of US Law, in particular as it relates to freedom-to-operate considerations. Daniel provides insightful advice on issues relating to service inventions, licensing, and other matters of Israeli law with an IP angle.
Foreign associates
We do not expect (and certainly don't demand) any reciprocal work from our foreign associates. That means that we are able to select our foreign associates solely based on considerations that we know are important to our clients - reasonable costs and high-quality work. Over the years, we have built up a great network of foreign associates who satisfy these criteria.

General portfolio strategizing
Nothing gives us greater pleasure than getting into the heart of your business, and developing an IP strategy that matches the direction in which you wish to grow your business. We are continually looking out for areas in which to develop your IP, in order to protect any new developments that have been generated by your own R&D, and/or in order to place you in a position of strength with respect to your close competitors. We enjoy having regular meetings with our clients, and their employees at all levels, in order to identify any shifts in their requirements, and to be ready to develop their IP portfolio accordingly.
Patent Preparation and Prosecution
We specialize in patent prosecution in the technical fields of medical devices, medical imaging, physics, computer software, mechanical devices, medicinal cannabis, and consumer products. We have a wealth of experience in handling applications in all major jurisdictions, including the USA, Europe, China, Japan, India, Australia, Canada, etc. We aim to provide as broad protection for our clients' inventions as possible, based upon a thorough understanding of our clients' business needs, as well as the techical field of the invention and the prior art.
Patentability Searching
We encourage our clients to have patentability searches performed prior to preparing applications, in order to allow them to gain a better understanding of the technical field and the prior art that exists. In our experience, by having us perform the patentability search, rather than outsourcing the search to a third-party service provider, we are able to get a better understanding of the field and the prior art that we are likely to encounter during prosecution. In turn, this allows us to strategically plan and implement a robust patent portfolio that best protects our clients' interests.
FTO Searching and Analysis
We are able to provide a freedom-to-operate search, in order to determine whether there may be issues in bringing your product to the market in a given jurisdiction. If we identify any potential issues, we can assist in strategizing for overcoming such issues. We are able to provide an invalidity opinion, or a non-infringement opinion if appropriate.
Due diligence
Beider IP is able to assist clients who are undergoing due diligence, whether it is in conveying to potential investors the general IP strategy of the company, or addressing particular issues relating to patentability or freedom-to-operate concerns. We are proud to have assisted our clients in procuring investments from leading strategics and VCs. In addition, we are happy to assist potential investors in analyzing the IP position of a company in which they are looking to invest, both in terms of the robustness of the company's proprietary IP, and their freedom-to-operate position.
