About Ryan J.
Ryan J. Cann is an intellectual property lawyer admitted to practice in Nevada and registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. He is principal of Cann IP Law PLLC, where he works with inventors, companies and other clients on patent and trademark matters. He represents clients in preparing filings before the USPTO and handles related counseling and transactional tasks that arise during the life cycle of intellectual property.
Cann’s registration at the USPTO permits him to prepare, file and prosecute patent applications on behalf of inventors and patent applicants. That credential also enables him to respond to office actions and manage prosecution strategies aimed at securing patent protection. His Nevada license allows him to deliver state-law advice and to coordinate matters that mix state and federal concerns, such as licensing and contract work tied to intellectual property assets.
In day-to-day practice he drafts and prosecutes patent applications, prepares trademark registrations, and conducts clearance and patentability assessments. He also prepares legal opinions, supports client efforts in portfolio development, and assists in drafting and negotiating intellectual property-related agreements. When disputes arise, he works with outside litigators and provides technical and procedural support that aligns prosecution records and strategic objectives.
Clients who work with him range from individual inventors to small businesses and companies that manage growing portfolios. He manages filings and docketing and aims to keep clients informed about deadlines and procedural steps at each stage. He also advises on procedural options before patent and trademark offices and on practical considerations that affect the commercial use of intellectual property.
Cann runs his practice from Cann IP Law PLLC. He combines practice before the USPTO and his Nevada license to offer prosecution, counseling and transactional services. He currently practices at Cann IP Law PLLC, concentrating on patent prosecution, trademark registration and related intellectual property counseling.
