IP services for businesses and individuals

Patents

Patent services

Protect your inventions before someone else does. We guide inventors and businesses from initial concept through issued patent.

Patent search

We search existing patents and published applications to assess the novelty of your invention and inform your filing strategy.

Provisional Patent Application

Establish an early filing date while you continue developing your invention. A provisional application gives you 12 months to refine your idea and assess the market before committing to a full application.



Non-provisional patent application

We draft and file your full utility patent application — preparing claims designed to provide the broadest, most defensible protection for your invention.

We respond to USPTO office actions, navigate the examination process, and manage your maintenance fees to keep your issued patent in force.

We assist with PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) filings and direct national phase entries to pursue protection in international markets.

trademarks

Trademark services

Your brand is one of your most valuable assets. We help you protect it from the start and defend it over time.

Trademark search

Before you invest in a brand, make sure it's available. We conduct comprehensive searches covering federal registrations, state marks, and common law usage — so you can move forward with confidence.



Trademark application preparation and filing

We prepare and file your application with the USPTO, selecting the right classes, crafting descriptions of goods and services, determining accurate use dates and acceptable specimens of use, and helping you put your best foot forward from day one.

Trademark prosecution

If the USPTO issues an office action — a rejection or request for more information — we respond on your behalf, advocating for your application through the examination process.

A registered trademark requires periodic filings to stay alive. We track your deadlines and handle your maintenance filings so your registration never lapses.

If someone is using your mark without authorization, we can help. We advise on cease-and-desist letters, opposition proceedings, and litigation options — and we can review your own use to make sure you are properly following trademark requirements.

Selling outside the U.S.? We can guide you through international filings via the Madrid Protocol and direct country applications to protect your brand in key foreign markets.

copyrights & trade secrets

Copyright and trade secret services

Original creative work and confidential business information deserve protection too.

Copyright review and advice

We advise on copyright ownership, licensing, fair use, and infringement — helping creators, businesses, and developers understand and enforce their rights in original works.



Copyright registration

Federal registration strengthens your copyright and is required before filing an infringement lawsuit. We can handle the registration process on your behalf.

Trade secrets counseling

We help businesses identify their trade secrets, implement protective measures, and respond when confidential information is misappropriated.
