Kligler & Associates is a full-service IP firm, founded in 2008, with a sharp focus and passion for Deep-Tech – electronics, computers, communications, optoelectronics, and advanced medical devices. Over the 15 years that the firm has been in existence, its Israeli clients have been acquired for a cumulative total of more than $20 billion by companies that include Nvidia, Apple, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, KLA, Sony, and Intel. Many of the acquiring companies have chosen to keep Kligler & Associates on as outside patent counsel, recognizing the high professional and technical quality of the work that the firm performs and its dedication to providing personalized service for every client. US clients now account for the largest part of the firm's work.

Kligler & Associates provides a full range of IP services and addresses all of our clients’ IP-related needs, including trademarks, designs, and copyright, as well as due diligence, contracts, and litigation support. By far the biggest part of the firm's practice is filing and prosecuting patent applications in the USPTO. Most of the members of the professional staff worked in high-tech industries before becoming patent attorneys, and several are also licensed in the US. The attorneys at Kligler & Associates work with inventors all over the world, including the US, Europe, and the Far East (not to mention here in Israel). Clients see Kligler & Associates as a US firm that happens to be located in Tel Aviv, meeting the highest standards of technical competence, efficient service, and on-time response, and consistently turning out patents of high quality while holding down prosecution costs.

Services of the firm include:

• Patentability & Validity Search

Search international patent databases and other sources of information and then analyze the results in order to advise clients on the patentability of their own inventions or, in other cases, on the validity or invalidity of other parties’ patents that appear to threaten our clients’ products.

• Patent Drafting

Meet with the inventors, review client technical documents (when available), and write patent applications for filing in the U.S., Israel, and internationally. In most cases, attorneys are able to collect all the information that is needed in a single meeting and do not require inventors to prepare special disclosure documents.

• Patent Application Filing

The firm files patent applications directly in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the Israel Patent Office, and the Patent Cooperation Treaty (international filing). It also handles filing in other countries through associate firms.

• Patent Prosecution & Appeals

Negotiate with patent examiners and make amendments as necessary in order to overcome rejections and obtain patent grants on clients’ applications. Kligler & Associates is often asked to take over the prosecution of applications that were originally filed by other firms, particularly in cases of difficult examination.

• Filing of Trademark and Design Applications

File applications directly in the U.S. and Israel, and file in other countries through associate firms.

• Freedom to Operate
• Legal Opinions
• Due Diligence
• Patent Licensing and Sale of IP Assets
• IP Portfolio Management
