Rubinstein Law Group, P.C., assists inventors and businesses in obtaining patent protection around the world, and provides a full range of patent portfolio-management services. We specialize in cost-effective improvement in the global offensive and defensive patent positions of both emerging and established companies. We emphasize patent portfolio generation, management, licensing, positioning and exploitation for emerging and established companies.

Our practice also includes intellectual property risk management, including counseling and studies for infringement, validity, and IP ownership disputes. Instead of a traditional pro bono practice, RLG's patent practice dedicates a substantial portion of its practice to advising individual inventors on whether and how to pursue their ideas, and how to build a business using their intellectual property.
