More about Cork Maloney LLP

Cork Maloney is an intellectual property firm that works with companies at multiple stages of growth, including startups and small businesses developing and protecting new technologies. Its attorneys advise clients on patent prosecution, IP strategy, freedom-to-operate issues, licensing, and other questions that can become important as an invention moves from an early concept toward a commercial business.

For early-stage founders, the firm brings experience not only in obtaining intellectual property protection but also in evaluating how that protection fits into broader business objectives. Sarah Cork, in particular, works closely with clients to develop IP strategies around both immediate and long-term goals and has significant involvement with startup investors, incubators, and accelerators.

The firm’s technical experience is especially strong in life sciences and other complex technologies, including medical devices, diagnostics, circuitry, telecommunications, and related fields. While its practice is not primarily positioned around general consumer-product inventors, its combination of patent prosecution, technical depth, and experience advising startups can make it relevant to founders developing technically sophisticated physical products.
