How It Works

A clear, collaborative process from initial consultation through patent issuance. You'll work directly with an attorney who understands both your technology and the patent system.

1

Initial Consultation

We discuss your invention, business goals, and timeline. You'll get a candid assessment of patentability and a clear understanding of costs and next steps.

2

Prior Art Search & Analysis

3

Application Drafting

Detailed specification and claims drafted with prosecution strategy in mind. You review and provide feedback before filing.

4

Filing & Prosecution

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 as your technology evolves.
