Welcome. I can assist you with your patenting needs. I can perform patent searches, and can draft and prosecute your patent applications. I specialize in helping small entrepreneurial companies navigate the intellectual property world. I can advise you whether pursuing a patent is the right course of action for you. I can act as your in-house patent engineer and analyze your patenting needs and takes ideas from the back of the envelope stage to a patent. Give me a call or email - the first consultation is on me.
As a patent agent, I am licensed to draft, submit and prosecute patent applications both for the US and Internationally (PCT) - the same as a patent attorney. I have been an engineer and computer programmer for over 25 years.
I believe a patent application should be understandable, not only by the inventors, but anyone in the field of study of the invention. I believe in drafting patent applications in plain English whenever possible, keeping the legal jargon to a minimum.
Why use me instead of a full service IP law firm? For patent work, my rates are substantially less than most IP law firms and my extensive technical background allows me to grasp your ideas or to understand patents and applications rapidly. If I can't handle all of your patenting needs, I have a network of associates that can help.
If you would like me to visit your facility and discuss what I can do specifically for your firm, please contact me. For a more detailed description of the services I provide, please see Services.
