Services Offered
01
Patent Searches (Prior Art Searches)
Before investing in a patent application, it’s essential to know what’s already out there. Patent searches, also known as prior art searches, look at existing patents and publications to see if your idea is truly new. We provide thorough searches along with clear opinions on which aspects of your invention are the most likely to be patentable. This allows you to make informed decisions about next steps.
02
Freedom to Operate (FTO) Searches
We review existing patents to identify potential risks before you launch your product. A freedom to operate search checks if you can make, use, or sell your invention without infringing (conflicting with) someone else’s patent. This helps you avoid costly disputes and move forward with confidence.
03
Provisional Applications
We prepare provisional applications, which are temporary filings that quickly secure your place in line at the USPTO and let you mark your invention as “patent pending.” This cost‑effective option gives you up to 12 months to refine your idea or seek funding before filing the full application. Think of it like calling “dibs” on your invention while you prepare the complete paperwork.
04
Non-Provisional Applications
We draft and file non‑provisional applications, which are the formal documents reviewed by the USPTO. These undergo full examination and, if approved, result in an issued patent that provides enforceable protection in court. This application can become a patent.
05
Responding to Office Actions
When the USPTO raises questions or rejections, they issue an office action (written feedback from the examiner). We craft strategic responses and, when appropriate, conduct examiner interviews to clarify your invention. This keeps your application moving forward efficiently while protecting the scope of your patent.
06
Portfolio Strategizing
Whether you are a startup or an established company, we provide patent insights to help you build and manage a strategic patent portfolio that protects the key aspects of your technology. Together, we develop cost‑effective filing plans and, when appropriate, evaluate and pursue international protection to support your business goals.
