Intellectual Property (IP) protection, including via patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, is vital to delivering innovation to the marketplace, and also to keeping innovators encouraged. Without proper IP protection, innovators are vulnerable to theft. Protecting innovators from theft is why John went into law, and why he started his own firm.  More background information on John can be found by clicking About John Powers.

At Powers IP Law, John has a three-part mission.  First, he strives to deliver legal services to clients that will withstand intense scrutiny.  For example, if he procures a patent for a client, John’s mission is to ensure that that patent will withstand the onslaught that five opposing attorneys will subject it to, should litigation ever occur.  Eight years of rigorous training at two of the most prestigious law firms in Pittsburgh, PA has allowed him to feel confident in his ability to do this.  Second, he believes in a hand holding approach for his clients.  IP law can be cryptic, even to those who are versed in it.  With his clients, he wants them to know and understand exactly why certain actions are being taken, and not have any reservations about calling him.  Finally, when it comes to cost, John prides himself on being inexpensive (not cheap).  He knows that his rates are far less expensive than the large firms, due to his reduced overhead as a solo practitioner.  If you are an innovator, have developed something that will benefit society, and are worried about being justly compensated for your efforts to innovate, please Contact John.  The Powers IP Law Firm wants to work for you.
