Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
Our patent filings were used to help our clients secure angel and institutional investments. Our work for a semiconductor fabless company resulted in a multi-million dollar licensing deal they negotiated with one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world.
How did you build a successful practice?
We have a fantastic IT support that smooths our legal flow and communication with clients. The successful patent lawyers will naturally want to have the best patent attorneys on their side helping them win their cases and secure the best patent coverage they possibly can. Patent attorneys who are handling their clients' cases directly often become too preoccupied with their work to look after other matters as well. A managing partner keeps in touch with the other team members to make sure that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals as well.
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
Dependability, Quality, and Cost-Effectiveness
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
Very important, we have been registered patent attorney since 1993
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
While you might not think that your innovative ideas deserve a provisional, utility, or design patent, they certainly do if you can prove that they are important. If you have an idea for a new product or technology, new device, or method of using a product or technology, then it is important that you speak with a qualified patent attorney to determine whether your idea is one that would be eligible for patenting or trademarking. We can recommend the best route for you to pursue.

Description of the invention to be patented.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

We help non-profits who help inventors
Are you involved in your community?
Yes, we volunteer with non-profits such as www.inventiv.org and speak at local inventor meetings. We also run IP education sessions with high-school and middle high school entrepreneurship boot-camps.
