Patent Domestic and International Portfolio Management

Managing a patent portfolio involves developing and maintaining patent assets over time in a way that supports products, markets, and business priorities. This includes decisions about where to seek protection, how to allocate resources, whether to continue or abandon applications, and how to adapt as technologies, competitors, and business goals evolve.

Leason Ellis works with clients to manage both U.S. and international patent portfolios, coordinating filings, prosecution strategies, and ongoing maintenance across jurisdictions. We help clients prioritize investments, identify gaps or redundancies, and align portfolio decisions with business realities, whether the goal is protecting a core product, supporting licensing opportunities, maintaining market share, or building leverage in a competitive space.

Our approach emphasizes regular review, practical decision-making, and strategies tailored to the role the portfolio is meant to play. For some clients, that means building broad protection around foundational technology. For others, it means focusing on select filings, monitoring competitive activity, or pruning assets that no longer serve business objectives.
