Our Services
Clients’ success determines our own! We ensure both through collaboration.

Patent Preparation and Prosecution
This is our bread-and-butter! We manage all aspects of patent preparation and prosecution in the electrical and mechanical arts. Our hands-on approach of closely working with in-house counsel and scientists enables us to better understand the patentable subject matter and to prepare robust patent applications. We are experts at interviewing examiners at the USPTO and can steer the prosecution process to issuance of patents with claims having desirable scopes. We can also help educate the scientists regarding fundamental intellectual property concepts to allow the scientists to adapt their research activities resulting in an increased amount of identified patentable subject matter.

Due Diligence
We perform various due diligence analyses to assist clients in addressing circumstances in which the need for diligence arises. Among other things, our analyses allow clients to determine whether competitors are infringing clients’ patents, whether clients’ patents can be monetized via licensing, whether clients’ products are at risk of being considered as potentially infringing a competitor’s patents, or whether a given patent is valid and/or enforceable. We also study industry standards and competitors’ products to enable strategic development of commercially valuable patents for our clients.
