Why Choose a Patent Attorney Who Understands Tech

A strong patent strategy requires more than filing documents — it demands technical insight, legal savvy and strategic business alignment. As a patent attorney, we offer:

Dual expertise: Deep knowledge of complex inventions plus the legal training and USPTO registration required to represent clients before the patent office.
Comprehensive services: From patentability assessments to drafting, filing, prosecution, defense and portfolio management.
Business-first mindset: Your patent should serve your product roadmap, investment strategy and exit goals — not just meet legal formality.
Clear communication, transparent process: We translate legal and technical complexity into actionable, business-friendly guidance so you’re never left wondering.

Because the patent system is complex and competitive, selecting the right attorney matters. The difference between a generic filing and a strategically crafted, commercially meaningful patent can impact your fundability, licensing potential and market position.

What We Do as Your Patent Attorney

As your dedicated patent attorney, here are the core services that Protectors of Tech delivers:

Patentability & Prior Art Analysis

Before investing in filing, we evaluate whether your invention meets patentability criteria (novelty, non-obviousness, utility) and conduct prior art searches to assess risk and position.

Drafting & Filing Patent Applications

We prepare and file applications that clearly describe your invention, define precise claims, and anticipate competitor and examiner responses. The quality of drafting influences how broad and enforceable your future patent rights will be.

Patent Prosecution

Once filed, we manage the interaction with the USPTO: responding to office actions, coordinating amendments or interviews, advocating for allowance — all in alignment with your business stage and goals.

Portfolio Strategy & Management

Your patent attorney isn’t just about one patent. We help you build and manage a patent portfolio that supports your product roadmap, geographic expansion, licensing potential and exit strategy.

Enforcement & Monetization Guidance

If others infringe your patent or you’re considering licensing or sale, we provide legal advice and representation. With full attorney credentials, we handle the legalities, agreements and enforcement decisions that protect your value.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about patent law and our services.

What is a patent attorney?

A patent attorney is a lawyer who specializes in intellectual property law related to securing and protecting inventions. They are qualified to advise on patentability, draft and file applications, and represent clients before the USPTO.

Do I need a patent attorney rather than a patent agent?

Yes — while a patent agent can file applications before the USPTO, they cannot give full legal advice or represent clients in court. A patent attorney has passed both the state bar and the USPTO registration exam, making them fully qualified for litigation, licensing and enforcement.

How do I know if my invention is patentable?

We’ll help assess patentability by evaluating novelty, non-obviousness and utility, along with searching existing patents (prior art). If your invention meets these criteria and aligns with your business goals, we’ll map out next steps.

What is a patentable idea in tech?

To be patentable, an invention generally must be novel, non-obvious, and useful. In tech contexts this often means a new machine, method, process or system—even improvements on existing tech can qualify. But mere abstract ideas, laws of nature, or generic software may not.

What can a patent attorney do for a startup?

We tailor strategy to your stage: filing cost-effectively, timing filings with product development and funding rounds, drafting claims that support business growth rather than just protection.

Do patents mean I’m safe from being copied or sued?

A patent grants you the right to exclude others, but it doesn’t automatically stop infringements or guarantee commercial success. Enforcement, competition, market conditions and global strategy all matter. Also, un-maintained or narrow patents may have limited defensive power.

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.
