About – Asaf Gitelis | Attorney, Patent Drafting and Intellectual Property
Protecting what you have built. Growing the value of what is yours.
I support individuals, entrepreneurs, inventors, companies and businesses at the intersection of law, innovation, intellectual property and business activity.
My core specialization is patents and intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, designs, rights and transfer of rights, licensing agreements and the commercialization of innovation.
“I don’t look only at the right or at the business, I also look at the person behind them.”
In addition, I provide legal support in commercial and business matters: agreements and contracts, founders’ and partners’ agreements, collaborations, engagements with suppliers and customers, negotiations, debt collection, company formation, risk management and legal proceedings.
The goal is not only to handle a problem after it arises, but to build a legal foundation in advance that protects the assets, rights and interests of the individual or the business.
When it comes to an invention, a product, a technology, a brand, a creative work or a business idea, the first legal decisions are often also significant business decisions. The right registration, the right ownership, the right agreement or maintaining confidentiality at the right time can affect the future value of the asset.
My approach combines legal experience with business understanding, with the aim of identifying risks early, protecting rights and increasing the ability to realize their economic value.
Your business’s legal department, and by your side when it comes to your personal assets and rights.
Protecting your innovation. Safeguarding your rights.
An invention, a technology, a brand, a design or a creative work can be among the most important assets of an individual or a business. But the mere existence of an idea or a product does not guarantee that the rights in it will be protected, that ownership will be clear or that its economic value will be preserved.
That is why legal protection should begin before the problem arises.
Asaf Gitelis, attorney and patent attorney, provides legal and business support to inventors, entrepreneurs, companies, businesses and private individuals, with an emphasis on patents and intellectual property, combined with the areas of commercial law required around them.
The support includes, among other things, patents, trademarks, designs, intellectual property rights, licensing and rights transfer agreements, commercialization of innovation, commercial agreements, collaborations, company formation, founders’ and partners’ agreements, risk management and legal protection.
The goal is not only to solve legal problems after they occur, but to identify risks in advance, protect rights and build a legal foundation that allows the individual or the business to operate, grow and realize the value of the assets they have created.
Don’t wait for a problem to discover that you had a right
In many cases, legal damage does not begin on the day a lawsuit is filed. It begins much earlier, when an idea is exposed without appropriate protection, when rights are not registered in the name of the right party, when a partner or an employee receives rights that were not defined, when a technology is used without an appropriate agreement, or when a commercial agreement does not protect the interests of the business.
That is why it is important to examine the legal aspects at the earliest stages.
An early review of ownership, rights, agreements, registrations and risks can prevent future disputes and preserve assets that may be of significant value.
Don’t say later “too bad I didn’t take care of this earlier”. Take care of your rights in time.
Patents and Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is not just a document or a registration. For an inventor, an entrepreneur or a company, it may be a core business asset.
I support processes related to patents and intellectual property, including reviewing the protection strategy, rights and ownership, registration and transfer of rights, trademarks, designs, licensing agreements, commercialization and collaborations.
The perspective is not only legal. It is also necessary to examine how the protection of the intellectual property fits into the business model, into the relationships with partners, investors, manufacturers and customers, and into the ability to realize the economic value of the asset.
Law as Part of the Business Strategy
A business does not need a lawyer only when a problem arises.
An agreement with a partner, customer or supplier; forming a company; dividing rights; bringing in an investor; licensing technology; a collaboration; employing a person who holds significant know how; collecting a debt or a commercial negotiation are all situations in which the right legal decision can directly affect the business.
That is why legal support should be integrated into business decisions, and not arrive only after they have been made.
The goal is to create a legal foundation tailored to the scope of activity and to the real needs of the business, while identifying risks, protecting rights and enabling business decisions to be made with a clear legal picture.
Your Business’s Legal Department
Many businesses do not necessarily need an in house legal department, but they do need a permanent legal address that knows the business, its activity and its interests.
Ongoing legal support on a retainer basis makes it possible to receive legal advice along the way, review agreements and engagements, identify risks before they turn into disputes, and integrate legal considerations into business decision making.
The scope of support can be tailored to the scope of activity and to the changing needs of the business, with a clear goal: fewer surprises, more legal control.
