Intellectual Property

Patented inventions and intellectual property are strategic assets in today’s business climate. We should know; when we formed our company in 1999, we formed an intellectual property strategy that allowed us to create a portfolio and sell our assets to two different buyers, creating a return better than any other investment we’ve ever made. At Left Coast Engineering, we value that investment and put our invention assets and strategies to work for our customers—helping them mitigate risk and attain competitive advantage in their IP portfolios. LCE has extensive experience in patent development, involved directly in the creation of about 20 issued patents, starting in the 1990s.

We understand the process and importance of professionally and soundly documenting your idea and have ample experience to get you through the process. In addition, LCE can be your expert witness. Our experience with electrical and mechanical engineering, batteries, wireless product design and more allows us to present the technical engineering facts when an item or process is being questioned. Contact us anytime to talk about your specific situation. Note that we are not patent attorneys but assist with your patent efforts from the technical side. We will work directly with your patent attorney or introduce you to ours.
