The Law Offices of George E. Darby

Offices in Asheville, N.C., and Honolulu, Hawaii

Concentrating in Patent Prosecution and Technology Law

Patent Prosecution ...

... is the process of (1) collaborating with inventors in the drafting of patent applications, (2) filing of patent applications, and (3) responding to Office Actions issued by Patent Examiners at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office until a patent issues or other outcome ensues. Our offices have close working relationships with patent law firms in Tokyo, Japan for filings with the Japan Patent Office, and in Munich, Germany, for filings with the European Patent Office.  George Darby, principal attorney, is fluent and literate in English, Japanese, and German.

Technology Law ...

... is the provision of legal services to technology companies (esp., startups) and to technology-based operations of established companies. Technology law clients are primarily companies whose "means of production" is information technology, particularly companies engaged in software development, network design, network installation, telecommunications, information services, Website design, systems integration, and Web Commerce.  Technology transfer is also a part of Technology Law.   Tecnology transfer, whether domestically or internationally, usually involves licenses of patents, software copyrights, multimedia copyrights, trademarks, service marks, and/or trade secrets.
