Services
I am a registered patent attorney that specializes in patent prosecution and counseling. In addition to writing, filing and prosecuting patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), I also provide experienced counseling for all patent related matters.
One of my specialties is helping businesses protect their inventions as they bring new products to market. I provide guidance to help identify your protectable intellectual property. I evaluate whether your product might infringe existing patent rights and assist you in redesigning your product to avoid infringement when prudent. I provide you with clear strategies for protecting your inventions by making optimal use of provisional patent applications, utility patent applications and design patent applications where appropriate. In every case, my focus is centered on identifying the best path for your business, not just provide a generic strategy.
No client can be expected to be an expert in the complexities of patent law. In order to make informed business decisions related to your inventions, you will need the assistance of an experienced patent lawyer. Accordingly, I offer free consultations to help you identify your intellectual property needs and formulate an appropriate strategy. When moving forward to implement your strategies, I offer a variety of cost effective fee arrangements, including fixed fees (flat fees) and hourly rates. Visit my FAQ section regarding alternative billing arrangements for patent services for more information about my fixed fee arrangements.
