502 WASHINGTON AVENUE - SUITE 605 94 NAROD BOULEVARD Senior Patent Counsel | |
"Maximizing the Returns on Your Intellectual Endeavors" |
Client Satisfaction:
Mr. Guffey's practice is
today concentrated
primarily in the area of U.S. and
foreign patent law; although he does continue to advise on some related,
trademark and copyright matters. His two decades of research, manufacturing, management
and legal experience have provided him with valuable insight into the technical,
business, legal and strategic challenges facing technology-oriented
entrepreneurs. This allows him to provide his clients with cost-conscious,
legal advice based on their "total business needs" and the shared goal
of "maximizing the returns on your intellectual endeavors."
His technical expertise and industrial experience make him especially
effective at monitoring and evaluating the intellectual property environments of
his clients' businesses. He uses this knowledge to counsel his clients on
the strategic alternatives that they should consider implementing in order to
continue to maximize their businesses' profitabilities. Mr. Guffey's
unique contributions in this area allow him to establish long-term relationships
with his clients -- he can essentially perform as a part-time, in-house, patent
law counsel.
Using a combination of fixed fees, discounts on certain hourly fees paid in
advance and discounts on multiple-related cases, Mr. Guffey has a fee structure
that stays focused on his clients' bottom lines. After many years of
managing "Total Quality Management" programs, he prides himself on the
level of client support that he provides and exemplifies within the legal
profession. Services:
