Patents

The firm specializes in the protection of intellectual property through the procurement of U.S. and foreign patents. The firm strives to make sure that each patent application seeks coverage consistent with the client's business objectives and is prepared in a timely and cost effective manner.

Disclosure meetings:

Our goal is to conduct the most comprehensive and complete first disclosure meeting possible.  If possible, we prefer in-person disclosure meetings, but we also routinely conduct teleconference disclosure meetings, where we utilize our web-based conference whiteboard technology. 

A good first disclosure is key to an efficient preparation process that is designed to reduce the burden on the inventor.

Drafting Patent Applications:

Our firm implements specific processes for drafting a patent application to ensure the broadest protection allowable.  Each patent application is drafted to ensure broad scope is provided to each claim term. 

We take pride in drafting claims that will not only cover our client’s invention, but also provide the claim scope with the competition in mind.  It is our goal to provide a first draft that is substantially complete, and will be ready for filing without undue revision cycles.
