Intellectual Property Law
About Hoffberg & Associates Mr. Hoffberg is a technologist, investor, inventor of over 110 US patents, strategic advisor, and patent attorney. His longstanding interest in economic theory leads to a unique perspective and approach to intellectual property, while at the same time delivering quality work product. Intellectual property has value only when exploited for public benefit (though in some cases, withholding a technology from the market to permit commercialization of a competing technology is a benefit), and therefore merely protecting an invention is insufficient. We assist companies, institutions, and individuals in planning and executing IP strategies toward commercialization, including creating technologies, obtaining strong protection and enforcement, acquiring, licensing, brokering and selling IP, and in developing commercialization plans. Hoffberg & Associates is a sole practice, and work undertaken is performed by Mr. Hoffberg. However, we do not necessarily act alone, and with client consent, will enlist support and assistance of colleagues to support our efforts. In all IP creator representation projects, our focus is on successful deployment of technologies pursuant to sound business plan, with economic justification, and likely eventual return on investment. We do balance our considerations, and understand the plight of defendants, who may be “efficient infringers” or unfairly accused. In addition to our experience working across a range of pure disciplines, we specialize in interdisciplinary technologies. We have worked in projects involving Internet/networking; communications; cognitive radar; lidar; MIMO communications; databases and information science; cryptography; cryptocurrencies; "smart" contracts; distributed ledger, VR/AR/MR; ad hoc communications; game theory; optimization theory; application of market/economic principles to engineered systems; human interface systems and ergonomics; automated control systems; data and image analysis; MEMS; nanotechnologies; medical devices; biotech; genetic engineering; pharma; drug delivery; and speech technologies.
