Thrasher Associates, Llc

Start-ups need professional assistance to identify, manage, and solve the many legal issues common to new business endeavors, without bringing in an army of attorneys. We provide IP advice and management, as well as free access to our rolodex of investors, as well as unique tools for training inventors and management about IP. Many start-ups consider us their 'Chief Intellectual Property Officers'(CIPO). This makes Thrasher Associates the firm for start-up companies and inventors in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. All of our attorneys, technical writers, and paralegals have experience in the start-up environment, and understand the pressure crucible it is. We don't just think in terms of 'our service' being your solution, but have a rare ability to identify many hidden issues unique to start-ups and independent inventors, and then manage them. We guide clients in all aspects of intellectual property, including invention identification, invention recording and disclosure, design-arounds, budgeting, IP Strategy mapping, IP valuation, patentability and infringement opinions, patenting, licensing, trade secrets, trade dress, trademarks and copyrights. We also have expertise in reviewing corporate documents, including IP provisions in employment agreements, merger and acquisition documents, confidentiality, non-compete, and non-use documents. We have among our clients successful licensees, start-ups, and nationally recognized inventors.
