How we operate for you
First we have our free initial consultation. Here we will talk about your Patent, Trademark or Copyright. We will discuss frees and timelines. From our initial consultation we will proceed in the method agreed.
For Patents we usually recommend us doing a prior art search, this search will be complied into a report and sent to you. After you have had some time to review the report, we will have another consultation on how and if we should proceed with a provisional or non-provisional application.
Get in touch by mail or phone
When you call us, you speak to your attorney. We answer all calls to answer any questions our client has, and the attorney calls the client to inform the client of any case related updates.
Free personal consultation
We do not charge our client for the initial consultation. At this stage of the process both client and attorney must build a trust and understanding of the process ahead.
Starting your Application
Starting a Patent, Trademark or Copyright Application may seem daunting. Our firm has been in business for over 50 years and we can help you take a great idea to fruition.
What happens First?
First step is to call our office and setup a free personal consultation. Here we will discuss your options, setup a plan and associated costs.
Going trough the Patent Process
Some clients wish to file a PCT application, a provisional application or a non-provisional application. All clients are different so each case is likewise different. Durning our initial consultation, we will also discuss timelines of your application and what and when to expect certain events to occur.

Patent
A U.S. patent gives you, the inventor, the right to “exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling” an invention or “importing” it into the U.S. A plant patent gives you additional rights on the “parts” of plants (e.g., a plant patent on an apple variety would include rights on the apples from the plant variety). What is granted is not the right to make, use, offer for sale, sell or import the invention, but the right to stop others from doing so. If someone infringes on your patent, you may initiate legal action. U.S. patents are effective only within the U.S. and its territories and possessions.
Trademarks
A trademark can be any word, phrase, symbol, design, or a combination of these things that identifies your goods or services. It’s how customers recognize you in the marketplace and distinguish you from your competitors.
Copyrights
Copyright is a type of intellectual property that protects original works of authorship as soon as an author fixes the work in a tangible form of expression.
