Safeguard Innovation & Enhance Valuation with Patents.

For entrepreneurs and industry pioneers, the patent process provides one of the most definitive ways to protect a company's Intellectual Property and to boost company valuation. CARR patent lawyers approach the patent process with a thorough technical understanding and a coordinated approach focusing on both current and long-term opportunities. We also provide annual maintenance, as required to protect our clients' rights.

The firm seeks to secure broad, valid protection with a patent portfolio comprising a single, cornerstone patent serving as the foundation of an emerging company as well as with a portfolio of dozens of patents representing interrelated aspects of a highly complex, multifaceted invention.
