Patent Services
Patent attorneys who understand your technology.
Our patent attorneys have scientific and engineering training, and they draft and prosecute applications themselves. We work with you from first disclosure through issuance, including filings in other countries.
What we handle
Provisional applications
A provisional application can establish an early filing date while an invention is still being developed. We prepare provisionals with enough detail to support the later filings.
Non-provisional applications
We draft specifications and claims that describe your invention accurately and seek protection of appropriate breadth, and we respond to examiner objections throughout prosecution.
International prosecution
We coordinate patent filings in other countries through our offices in the United States and the United Kingdom and our foreign associates, and we manage the deadlines and procedures that differ from one jurisdiction to the next.
Patent analysis
We review your invention and existing patents to assess patentability, validity, and infringement, and to guide where and how to file.
Freedom to operate
Before a product launches, a freedom to operate review looks at whether existing patents may affect it. We conduct these reviews and explain the results in terms of the decision you need to make. A review reflects the patents identified at a particular time and does not guarantee that a product is free of risk.
Portfolio strategy and licensing
We help you decide which inventions to protect, where to file, and how to license or otherwise commercialize the resulting rights.
