Process
The Patent Process
The process of obtaining a patent is often complex and challenging. It requires far more than a simple fill-in-the-blank application. A successful patent application isn’t solely contingent upon your idea or invention. Often it becomes a competition where the first inventor to file their patent application gets the patent.
We recommend that you consult with us early in your invention or design process. If timing becomes a factor, we usually recommend a provisional filing. A provisional patent filed with the USPTO can serves as a 12-month placeholder that allows you to claim certain patent rights that are subject to a timely nonprovisional filing.

We Tell Your Story
To successfully protect your intellectual property rights, we must first persuade the Patent Trademark Office that you have rights worth protecting. We accomplish this by preparing and submitting a brief comprehensive patent application that tells your story and meets the strict USPTO guidelines.
- We get to know you, your company, and your idea or invention.
- We conduct a patent search using our search and analysis software. This minimizes submission errors that add time to the process.
- We construct your brief in clear, concise, convincing language.
- We present your idea or invention as new, useful, and non-obvious.
- We explain why your idea is not an obvious solution, considering so many other ideas in the world.

Claim Construction
The claims for your intellectual property are a central element of your patent application story. We provide legally, technologically precise details about your idea or invention and formulate claims that provide broad protection while avoiding the prior art. We utilize state of the art software-based patent drafting tools to ensure a complete, accurate and defensible patent application.

Patent Cooperation Treaty Submissions
Now more than ever, it’s essential to protect your patent internationally. While you can submit separate patent applications to individual countries and regional offices, the PCT simplifies the process.
When we submit your PCT application to the USPTO your application is vetted against the PCT standards covering multiple jurisdictions in a single filing. Currently, a PCT submission enables the possibility of obtaining patent rights in 155 international states or regions.
