We meet inventors to gather the information necessary for us to prepare and file a U.S. patent application before a technical conference, business negotiation, or product launch. We also help our clients prepare and file a U.S. patent application based on an already filed foreign patent application. We even help our clients pursue counterparts to their U.S. patent applications in foreign countries with the help of our relationships with professionals at many foreign firms. We invest resources up-front in the preparation or revision of our clients’ patent applications, leaning on our experience and understanding of current and emerging U.S. patent law issues to put those applications in the best condition for efficient prosecution and patenting.  

​

Our clients rely on us to obtain high-quality U.S. patents through efficient prosecution of their applications at the USPTO.  We accomplish this, in part, by engaging in interviews with USPTO Examiners to identify and resolve issues efficiently and early in the prosecution process. Our personal approach to advocacy ensures that the Examiner understands and appreciates the novel and nonobvious features claimed in each of our clients’ applications. This results in fewer Office Actions and a lower overall cost-per-patent.
