Intellectual Property
Petock & Petock, LLC was founded as an intellectual property firm in 1972 by Michael F. Petock and for almost 40 years has provided exceptional legal services to clients in the Philadelphia area and around the world. Michael F.

Intellectual property, whether in the form of a patent, trademark, copyright or trade secret, is often the most valuable asset that an individual or business owns. We strive to ensure that our clients take the proper steps not only to obtain, preserve and protect rights in their intellectual property but also to prosper from those rights.
The firm regularly advises as to all matters relating to patents, trademarks and copyrights. We have successfully prosecuted hundreds of applications for patent, trademark and copyright protection many of which are related to quite famous products and services. We also are regularly involved in negotiating licensing agreements and have helped clients achieve admirable returns through licensing their intellectual property rights. When it comes to litigation we are experienced in effective negotiation to resolve matters without litigation, but also are very experienced and effective in intellectual property litigation, including prosecuting and defending actions involving preliminary and permanent injunctions.
The firm is also experienced in all matters related to trade secret rights, unfair competition, false advertising and internet issues including internet domain name disputes. We are also experienced in intellectual property issues as they relate to and interact with the client’s business.
