About
Still an engineer at coronary heart, I help businesses are seeking robust patent safety to arm against me-too merchandise and stay clear of 1/3-birthday celebration patent rights.
I am the right desire for the right customer, but now not each person needs the equal type of patent legal professional.
Some clients want to simply file some thing so that the purchaser can say patent pending without being concerned about really getting a beneficial patent. I am no longer an amazing suit for such customers as I need to be in it to win it.
Some customers need to file a patent software even though they haven't any idea a way to make the unconventional product. They see the patent system as a lottery price tag wherein you stake a declare for a sort of product and hope for a massive payoff. That isn't how the device works and now not how I work.
Some customers need to crank out plenty of very narrow patent packages in which the patent legal professional basically re-codecs a reasonably comprehensive invention disclosure form that has been vetted with the aid of the internal patent attorneys on a patent committee. They need someone to crank out slender programs whilst minimizing expenses. They have reduced new patents to a numbers game because the corporation has lots of patents already. No price range for creativity. Someone with less talent than me can manage that habitual work.
Some clients are constructing a enterprise and realize that having a sturdy set of patents will move the needle at the value in their business enterprise as strong patents will assist protect margin and market percentage by using keeping others from selling me-too merchandise. They need a patent attorney that is an outside crew member that enables the company spend cash wisely even as searching for patents that have commercial importance. They want a person with sufficient engineering abilities to understand their generation and talk the generation to a patent examiner. This is the sort of purchaser that I am well-proper to help.
