WATCHSTONE, an affialte of Novak Druce + Quigg LLP, assists clients across technologies and across continents in assuring the maximizing of the value which a client may extract from its intellectual property rights portfolio. WATCHSTONE not only provides for the crafting of an aggressive and robust patent portfolio through patent prosecution services, but continues with professional services designed to further enhance the client holdings through overall strategy planning assistance and coordination of licensing and enforcement efforts---all designed with the goal of achieving optimal financial performance for the client through its ipr utilization.

In order to achieve the above desired results WATCHSTONE does not accept engagements from all prospective clients, and will typically decline assignments which are of limited duration or scope and which are not designed to lead to the development of long-term relationships with the client we are serving.
