    • Architecture
    • Art
    • Music
    • Writing
  • There are three types of patents:
    • Design patents
    • Plant patents
    • Utility patents
  • A trademark is one of the following that denotes a specific product that makes it different from similar products:
    • Design

Intellectual property is the heart of many business owners, meaning numerous attorneys are retained to assist with company matters. The role of an intellectual property lawyer can be different due to technological advances and how computers revolutionize the business world, creating a heightened awareness of what these items are and how they affect the company.

The application process for a patent is a lengthy and costly process that often results in a rejection initially for the person trying to make a commercial success of their invention. If rejection seems to be the only answer, it is vital to hire the right patent lawyer to improve the process to gain a successful end result to the application.

Our Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.

I hired Drew to assist with a business dispute that I encountered with a fellow member of the Florida Bar. Drew was very professional and was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me.

I hired Mr. Patterson (due to another attorney's referral) to handle what I viewed as a complex case. Because of Mr. Patterson's knowledge of the applicable laws and forethought of opposing counsel's strategy, I'm happy to say the outcome was "excellent." I generally do not post but Mr. Patterson absolutely deserves a well appreciated applause for his legal performance. That said, I also referred him to my sister which also had successful results. Thank you, Mr. Patterson.

As always, you (and BK) are rockstars! I couldn't be more grateful to have you both on my side. I appreciate all that you both do.

You are amazing! Thank you so much! I’ll give you a 5-star review, you’re the best!
