How We Work

We provide our corporate clients with an attorney-ready patent application, in a format and quality suitable for utlity or provisional filing in the USPTO or other patent office. The basic process usually includes:

1. Meeting with inventors for initial and subsequent discussions as necessary, often helping to define the invention, and obtain the technical details for a quality disclosure

2. Some amount of focused prior art searching, where appropriate

3. Development of first draft and figures for review

4. Revision and subsequent drafts based on inventor comments, additions and corrections

5. Review of content and claims with Patent Legal staff, as appropriate

We also support follow-up prosecution, helping inventors to draft appropriate and timely responses to office actions.

Graphical Approach

Studies show that effective visuals dramatically reduce the amount of time required to communicate a concept and contribute significantly to clarity and reader understanding. We strive for straightforward and effective graphics that convey the inventive concept and meet patent office standards.
