How We Can Help

We offer specialized services to protect your intellectual property at every stage of development.

Patent Preparation & Filing

Your invention is new, but your approach shouldn’t be. We guide you through a robust preparation process that uncovers all the angles: every embodiment, workaround, alternative design, and business model worth protecting. Then we craft and file with precision.

Why this matters: A deeply drafted application becomes the foundation for enforcement, licensing or sale later.
Our difference: We don’t just draft for the present—we tailor for what your business will become.

Whether you’re filing your first application or expanding a portfolio, we ensure your filings align with your goals.

Patent Prosecution (USPTO Engagement)

Filing is just the beginning. Our prosecution strategy is data-driven and focused on outcomes. We monitor examiner behavior, track relevant art, adapt your claims, and keep you informed every step of the way.

Transparent updates: Monthly status, analytics on examiners, strategic next steps.
Outcome-oriented: We align the prosecution timeline with your business milestones—raising capital, launching product, entering markets.

Every action is treated as part of a larger strategic game—getting you to allowance, or positioning you to leverage the application in the marketplace.

Patent Portfolio Strategy

Innovation doesn’t stop once you get a single patent. It evolves—your business, your market, your competitors shift. That’s why we work with you to build and manage a portfolio that supports growth, flexibility and enforcement.

Portfolio mapping: What you have, what you need, what your competitors hold.
Strategy alignment: Are you protecting for licensing? Blocking rivals? Building value for exit or acquisition?
Maintenance & scaling: We help you decide where to invest, what to abandon, how to structure geographically and technically.

A portfolio isn’t a trophy—it’s a business tool.

Patent Licensing & Monetization

You can invent. You can protect. But are you monetising? We help you unlock value from your IP beyond product launch: licensing deals, joint ventures, and leveraging your rights to create revenue or strategic advantage.

Infringement detection & analytics: Stay ahead of who’s using your tech.
Licensing strategy: Who should you talk to? What model fits your business? What terms are fair?
Exit readiness: Patents are often the currency in startup exits—let’s make yours count.

Your patents shouldn’t just sit in a drawer—they should work for you.

Litigation Support & Enforcement Backing

When you’re challenged—or when you challenge—your protection must be enforceable. We provide the intellectual property backbone for litigation, post-grant proceedings, and contested matters.

Claims analysis & strategy: How strong are your rights? What’s the best route to resolution?
Coordination with litigation counsel: We act as your strategic IP partner while others handle process.
Risk mitigation: From pre-litigation review through to verdict or settlement, we’re by your side.

In the tech world, rights without enforcement can leave you exposed.

Patent Maintenance & Geographic Expansion

Your innovation may be protected now—but what about tomorrow? Our maintenance services ensure that your portfolio stays alive, relevant and aligned with evolving markets.

Deadline management and annuity tracking: Avoid unintended lapses and keep your patent rights fully in force.
Geographic strategy: As you scale globally, we help determine where protection matters most and how to cost-effectively extend your reach.
Portfolio hygiene: Which patents are still strategic? What can you retire?

Protection isn’t “file once and forget”; it’s ongoing active management.

What is a patent?

In the U.S., a patent is a property right granted by the U.S. Government to an inventor "to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention" for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention.

What types of patents do you handle?

We handle both utility patents and design patents. Our attorneys have expertise in various technical fields including software, electronics, data storage, AI, semiconductor devices, and more.

How long does it take to prepare and file my patent application?

Preparing and filing your patent application typically takes 3-6 weeks from our initial invention disclosure session. The variance depends on the complexity of the invention, and the results of a prior art search.

What is the difference between a provisional and non-provisional patent application?

A provisional patent application establishes a priority date and gives you 'patent pending' status for up to 12 months, but a provisional patent application is not examined and must be "converted" to a non-provisional within a year or it goes abandoned. A non-provisional application is a formal patent application that is examined by the USPTO and thus can result in an issued patent.

How much does it cost to obtain a patent?

The cost of obtaining a patent can depend on the complexity of the invention, the type of patent sought, and other factors. We provide upfront, transparent, flat fee pricing so you know exactly what you will pay before the work starts. In fact, just put "Patent Fees" in the contact us form, and we will send you our fees.

What can and cannot be patented?

What can be patented?

Utility patents are provided for a new, nonobvious and useful:

- Process

- Machine

- Article of manufacture

- Composition of matter

- Improvement of any of the above

Design patents are provided for the ornamental design of an article of manufacture.

Plant patents are provided for asexually reproduced plant varieties.

What cannot be patented:

- Laws of nature

- Physical phenomena

- Abstract ideas

- Literary, musical, and artistic works (these can be Copyright protected)

How long does it take to get a patent?

While the exact time to receive a notice of allowance varies, on average it takes between 20 to 30 months for a new non-provisional patent application. There are different ways to expedite this process and we will go over those with you to see if it would make sense for you to pursue an expedited process.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about how to contact us.

How can I schedule a free discovery call?

You can schedule your complimentary discovery call by visiting our online booking link, or by calling us directly at 808-250-7028. We’ll ask for a brief description of your technology or key goal when you book so we can tailor the call and make it as effective as possible.

What information should I bring to our first call or meeting?

To get the most out of your first conversation, we suggest preparing a summary of your technology or invention (what it does, why it matters), your current stage (idea, prototype, product launch, scaling), and your business goals (raise funding, license the tech, exit). Bringing sketches, drawings, prior disclosures or timeline of development can help the discussion move faster.

What are your office hours and response times?

Our standard office hours are [insert hours, e.g., Monday to Friday, 9 am–5 pm MST]. Messages sent via our contact form or email ([email protected]) will typically receive a response within one business day, and we aim to return phone calls within 24 hours on business days.

Can I visit your office in person, or is everything remote?

You’re welcome to visit our office at 1272 S Monterey St., Gilbert, AZ 85233 if you prefer a face-to-face meeting. We also offer remote consultations via video-conference or phone for convenience. We’ll confirm the format that works best when you schedule your call.

Is there a cost for the initial consultation?

No — the discovery call is completely free and carries no obligation. It’s a chance for us to explore your technology, your goals, and to determine whether we’re the right strategic partner for you. If we move forward with formal services, we’ll clearly outline all fees and scope in an agreement.

Which types of technology or startups need a patent?

If your startup is rooted in a novel technical innovation—for example, a new software method, hardware system, data-processing algorithm, or manufacturing process—and you plan to raise investment, scale your business, block competitors, license your tech or exit, then yes: pursuing a patent often makes strategic sense. If your value is mostly derived from branding, design, or services rather than technical invention, a patent may be less critical—though still worth discussing.

What’s the best way to get in touch if I have a question outside your email/phone hours?

If you have a question outside our regular business hours, you can use the form on this page to submit your inquiry. We monitor these and will respond at the earliest opportunity on the next business day. You can also send us a direct email at [email protected] or reach out via our social accounts.
