The Watson IP Group, PLC

We Love Intellectual Property. The picture above is a part of the patent notice plaque from one of the electric generators operating at Niagara Falls in 1899. Today, this plaque hangs prominently on the wall in the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, Serbia. This simple patent notice speaks volumes. It speaks to innovation, and the ability to light the world at night. It speaks of success of people, companies and countries. It speaks of freedom to seek a better way and a better future; Tesla, a Serb, and Schmid, a Swiss, were immigrants to America and are forever immortalized in this patent notice. Above all, it speaks of inspiration to those that followed; reliable and dependable electricity itself formed the basis for so many inventions and innovations. All through a simple patent notice on a then-new piece of equipment intended to power lights. The Watson IP Group represents clients from its main law office in the Grand Rapids Metropolitan Area, where the firm was established in 2005. The law firm expanded to the Chicago metropolitan area, the Metro Washington, DC area, and Orange County, California.
