About Us

Firm Overview

Appearances matter. From cars to consumer electronics. From running shoes to a simple nail polish bottle. In a global marketplace, the design, shape and mold of your products is often what distinguishes you from your competitors.

At SAIDMAN DesignLaw Group, LLC, we believe in maximizing these precious assets, protecting your product designs, and enabling you to reap the rewards from your inspiration and industry, both now and in the future.

Our goal is simple: to protect our clients' ingenuity through innovative design protection strategies that provide the broadest possible protection. No other law firm does it better - or faster.

Our attorneys are pioneers in design patent protection, successfully defending clients in seminal legal cases, and virtually writing the rulebook on effective design protection strategies. And we have built a powerful knowledge bank of design law practice, which we draw upon to provide clients with comprehensive solutions that take into account both legal precedent and current trends.

Most patent law firms focus on protecting functionality with utility patents, treating design protection as an afterthought. The results are often poorly drafted, ineffective design patents that prove unenforceable in court. SAIDMAN DesignLaw Group, LLC specializes in creative, proactive design protection strategies. That's why top designers and household name clients rely on us to protect and defend their original works.

Our Staff

Design protection is part art, part science, requiring the combined talents of a highly-skilled staff. At SAIDMAN DesignLaw Group, LLC, we have assembled an experienced team of lawyers, legal assistants, draftspersons and registered patent agents. Several of our lawyers have engineering degrees, as well as professional training in mediation and dispute resolution.

But at DesignLaw Group, LLC we're not just lawyers. We're also parents, sports enthusiasts, friends and neighbors. We volunteer in the community, with disabled children and the homeless and we support educational and ethical organizations as part of our pro bono responsibilities.

Our "work hard-play hard" philosophy makes DesignLaw Group, LLC a dynamic, fun place to work, and enables us to bring a fresh perspective, and highly productive focus, to all our clients' needs.
