A clear, collaborative process that starts with a candid review, then builds the right protection – a patent, a trade-secret program, or both. You work directly with an attorney who understands both your technology and the tools that protect it.
We discuss your invention, business goals, and timeline, then give you a candid read on how you are best protected: a patent, trade-secret protection, or both. Honest guidance on the right tool and a clear understanding of costs and next steps.
Where a patent fits, a comprehensive prior-art search and the strongest claim strategy. Where it does not, a trade-secret and invention-capture assessment. Either way, a plan sized to your budget and roadmap.
For patents, a detailed specification and claims drafted with prosecution in mind, which you review before filing. For trade secrets, the agreements, controls, and capture hygiene that keep them protected.
Application filed with the USPTO. We handle all office actions, examiner interviews, and amendments to secure the broadest protection possible.
Once granted, we help you maintain your patent and develop continuation strategies to expand your portfolio, and keep your trade-secret protections current as your technology evolves.

A 12-month priority date while you refine the invention, test the market, or raise. Send a draft, sketches, or an invention disclosure and we scope a provisional that actually supports the non-provisional to follow.
