IP Protection That Actually Holds Up
A patent or trademark is only as strong as the strategy behind it. Here's what sets our protection apart.
We Speak Your Tech
Engineering backgrounds mean we grasp your invention deeply — and write claims that truly protect it.
We Think About Enforcement
We draft your IP to survive challenges and win disputes, not just to get a certificate on the wall.
We Move at Startup Speed
Fundraising and launches don't wait. We deliver the filings and clearances your timeline demands.
We Enforce Your Rights
When someone infringes, we act decisively to stop them and recover what you're owed.
We Think Globally
We protect your IP across borders, coordinating filings in the markets that matter to you.
We Build Portfolios
We don't just file one patent. We build the IP strategy that compounds your company's value.
From Idea to Protected Asset
Securing your IP is a clear, structured process. Here's how we take you through it.
Discovery & Search
We learn your invention or brand, then search to confirm it's clear and worth protecting.
Strategy
We recommend the right mix of patents, trademarks, and agreements to protect and monetize your idea.
File & Prosecute
We draft strong applications and shepherd them through the USPTO to registration or grant.
Protect & Enforce
We maintain your rights, license them on your behalf, and enforce them against infringers.

Turn Your Invention Into a Defensible Asset
A great patent does more than describe your invention — it stakes out territory competitors can't enter. That takes an attorney who understands both the technology and the art of claim drafting, because the claims are where a patent's real value lives.
Our USPTO-registered attorneys have engineering backgrounds and years of experience turning inventions into strong, enforceable patents. We handle utility and design patents, provisional and non-provisional applications, and the full prosecution process — building protection that holds up when it counts and adds real value to your company.
- ✓Utility and design patents drafted to be defensible
- ✓Provisional and non-provisional applications
- ✓Full USPTO prosecution by registered attorneys

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a patent, a trademark, or a copyright?
They protect different things: patents protect inventions and how things work, trademarks protect brand identifiers like names and logos, and copyrights protect creative and written works, including software. Many businesses need all three. At your consultation, we'll map exactly what protects your idea.
When should I file a patent?
As early as reasonably possible. The U.S. is a 'first-to-file' system, and public disclosure can start clocks ticking or forfeit rights. If you have an invention you're planning to launch, sell, or pitch to investors, talk to us before you disclose it.
What does 'USPTO-registered' mean?
Only attorneys who have passed the USPTO's rigorous patent bar — which requires a technical or scientific background — can prosecute patents before the Patent Office. Both of our founding attorneys are USPTO-registered, which is essential for quality patent work.
How much does it cost to protect my IP?
It depends on the type and complexity of the protection. We offer flat fees for many filings and clear estimates for everything else, and we'll discuss the full cost transparently at your free consultation — before any work begins.
Can you help enforce my IP if someone infringes?
Yes. Enforcement is a core part of what we do. From cease-and-desist letters to full litigation, we act decisively to stop infringement and, where possible, recover damages for the harm to your business.
Do you work with startups and solo inventors?
Absolutely. We protect IP for solo inventors, early-stage startups, and established companies alike. Getting your IP strategy right early is one of the highest-return decisions an innovator can make.
