Our Profile

Raphael Bellum PLLC is a boutique intellectual property law firm whose attorneys have extensive experience in patent and trademark prosecution, licensing, portfolio management, and client counseling.  Our firm was founded in 2009 by our friend and mentor, Jeffrey A. Lindeman, Ph.D., as J.A. Lindeman & Co. with the goal of establishing a “firm of choice” for both our clients and our team members.  We believe that ideas matter, and we pride ourselves on helping our clients turn their ideas into reality in the form of strong, valuable, and commercially viable intellectual property assets.

Our clients are involved with a wide range of technologies, including information technology, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, engineering and design, and manufacturing.  They are innovators and business professionals, universities and television networks, startups and industry leaders, small businesses, and multinational corporations—all of whom are busy inventing the technologies and developing the brands that will define tomorrow.  We are proud to help them develop, protect, and commercialize their intellectual property.

As chemists, biologists, biotechnologists, and engineers ourselves, we understand the unique challenges that our clients face, and we combine that with our years of legal and business experience to support our clients in all areas of patent and trademark law before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, in U.S. courts, in business negotiations and transactions, and international intellectual property matters. We also speak, teach, and write on a variety of topics in intellectual property law and technology.

Combining sound experience with insight and imagination, we are known for the creativity and enthusiasm we bring to every client relationship and matter. Just as originality and innovation are the hallmarks of your brand, creativity, and enthusiasm are the ingredients for success and satisfying work – for us and you.
