Ramon Pizarro represents clients before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), helping them secure patents and trademarks to protect their inventions and business developments. In addition to securing protection for intellectual property, Ramon L. Pizarro handles litigation related to intellectual property. This includes patent infringement cases, trademark infringement cases, and copyright infringement cases. Ramon L. Pizarro has represented clients in court matters before federal and state courts, as well as before the U.S. International Trade Commission. He has also represented clients before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the federal circuit.

Colorado patent attorney Ramon Pizarro’s patent litigation experience strengthens his patent prosecution skills and compliments his experience with the filing or prosecution of hundreds of patent applications. Common defenses or issues raised in litigated cases include issues of infringement (whether the patent covers the alleged infringing product), validity (whether the patented subject matter is new, useful, and non-obvious under the law), and enforceability (whether the court should enforce the patent, where the defendant has alleged inequitable conduct such as fraud on the patent office). Awareness of issues raised in vigorously litigated cases allows one to try to hedge the threat of having to address these issues during litigation. Thus, Ramon L. Pizarro believes that litigation experience provides the skills needed to procure “stronger”, more defensible, patents. Also, that experience in patent prosecution provides knowledge and understanding of the administrative process before the PTO, which is invaluable in helping clients during patent litigation.
