Protecting your designs and ideas

Richards Patent Law is a Chicago-based patent law firm offering full service patent prosecution and counseling.  Although my office is based in Chicago, I service clients from around the country and around the world.  As a patent attorney, my specialty is protecting your inventions and helping you avoid infringing others’ intellectual property rights as you build and expand your business.

I understand the importance of working closely with my clients to understand their specific patent needs.  There is not a one-size-fits-all strategy for protecting intellectual property.  I believe it is essential as a patent lawyer to understand my clients’ businesses to provide the best advice and service.

Feedback from my clients has taught me that the most unique service I offer as a patent attorney is to give each of my clients my respect and equal access to high quality legal services, whether they are a garage inventor, the CEO of an established business or anywhere in between.  Regardless of the size of your business or the scope of your invention, your business is welcome and appreciated.

I am always happy to hear from potential clients and welcome your questions for me about my services and your patent needs.  Richards Patent Law offers free consultations to help you identify your intellectual property needs and formulate an appropriate strategic plan for your company.  I offer a variety of cost-effective fee arrangements, including flat, or “per project” fees, as well as hourly rates.  Call or email me today to schedule a free consultation with an experienced patent attorney with no obligations.
