Patenting

Innovative Patenting and IP Protection

Since the firm’s beginnings in 1988, we have leveraged our patent prosecution skills to create valuable patent assets; reflecting our commitment of excellence in service to our clients. Domestic and international patent activity is a core part of our practice. In today’s global economy, sensitivity to international business and legal issues has become a mainstay in developing patenting strategies for our clientele.

We work across a broad range of technologies in which the firm’s attorneys and professional staff have extensive expertise. These technologies include biomedical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and material science. In addition, the firm provides prosecution services in a broad range of technologies to many small and mid-sized companies that have insufficient in-house patent staff.

The firm also provides prosecution assistance to clients with specialized technical needs that combine various disparate technologies, critical timing requirements, or patent applications likely to be embroiled in litigation, inter partes reexamination, opposition, or other judicial or administrative proceedings challenging the validity or enforceability of a granted or issued patent.

We continually hone our patent prosecution skills in the context of patent enforcement by anticipating and preparing for eventual enforcement issues once the patent issues.

What should I expect during a consultation with a patent attorney?

All our initial consultations are without charge. During the initial consultation, we will discuss in detail your invention, identify your objectives for obtaining a patent, discuss pathways to obtaining a patent in the United States and internationally, review the process of preparing a patent application and then prosecuting the application, and discuss timelines and cost estimates.

What is the process for filing a patent application with your firm?

We start with a consultation and evaluate your needs and objectives, typically conduct a pre-filing patent search to evaluate the patentability of your invention, then draft the patent application with your involvement, and then file it with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), keeping you updated throughout.

How long does it take to get a patent approved?

Non-provisional patents typically take about 24 to 36 months from filing, depending on complexity and USPTO workload.

Does your firm file patents internationally?

Yes, we facilitate both filing and patent prosecution through foreign patent agents or attorneys internationally. Typically, foreign applications begin with filing an International Application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) at the USPTO, and then nationalizing the application in foreign countries where you anticipate your markets or competition to exist.
