Global Patentability Search
Discover Potential Conflicts Worldwide: Our global patent search is designed to provide you with a comprehensive analysis of existing patents across the globe. We meticulously search international patent databases to identify any potential conflicts, ensuring your invention has a clear path forward. What sets us apart is that every search is conducted by a former Patent Examiner, bringing unparalleled expertise of patent landscapes and the nuances of the examination process. This expertise helps ensure that you have the most accurate and thorough information available, empowering you to make informed decisions before proceeding with your patent application.
Provisional Patent Application
Secure Your Invention’s Priority Date: A Provisional Patent Application is a crucial first step in protecting your invention. This service allows you to secure an early filing date while giving you a full year to refine your idea and prepare a complete Non-Provisional Application. We assist you in drafting a thorough and accurate application, ensuring that your invention is protected from the moment you file. Additionally, every application is reviewed by our former Patent Examiner before filing, providing an extra layer of expertise and precision to give your invention the best possible start on its path to patent protection.
Design Patent Application
Protect Your Product’s Unique Look: If the appearance of your product is what sets it apart, a Design Patent Application is the protection you need. Our service focuses on safeguarding the ornamental aspects of your product, such as shape, configuration, or surface ornamentation. We work closely with you to draft a Design Patent Application that captures the unique aesthetic features of your invention. To ensure the highest level of accuracy and quality, every application is reviewed by our former Patent Examiner before filing, providing an additional layer of expert insight and confidence in your design's protection.
Non-Provisional Patent Application
Complete and Detailed Protection for Your Invention: Securing a Non-Provisional Patent is a critical step in fully protecting your invention. This application requires a comprehensive and detailed description of your innovation, including its technical aspects, background, and claims. Our team is here to guide you through every phase of the process, ensuring your application is meticulously prepared to meet the rigorous standards of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). We work closely with you to articulate the unique value of your invention and secure the protection your idea needs to thrive in the marketplace. Additionally, every application is reviewed by our former Patent Examiner before filing, giving you the best possible chance of having your application approved.
Office Action Strategic Review
Navigate Complex USPTO Responses with Confidence: Receiving an Office Action from the USPTO can be daunting, but it’s a common part of the patent process. Our Office Action Strategic Review service provides you with expert analysis of the USPTO’s feedback. The review is conducted by a former Patent Examiner who used to draft and issue office actions, giving you unique insights into the examiner's perspective. We’ll help you understand the examiner’s concerns and work with you to develop a strategic response, whether it involves amending claims, providing additional information, or addressing rejections. Our goal is to ensure your patent application moves forward efficiently and successfully.
Intellectual Property Brainstorming
Fuel Your Innovation with Expert Guidance: Sometimes the best ideas come from collaborative thinking. Our Intellectual Property Brainstorming service is designed to help you explore new concepts, refine existing ideas, and identify potential avenues for protection. The brainstorming sessions are conducted with a former Patent Examiner—who better than someone who was once a deciding official on which inventions get a patent and which ones don’t? Whether you’re at the early stages of development or looking to expand your portfolio, we’ll work with you to unlock the full potential of your intellectual property. Together, we’ll explore creative solutions and strategies to protect and monetize your innovations.
Freedom to Operate Search
Clear the Path Before You Launch:
Before bringing a product to market, it's crucial to know whether you might be stepping on someone else’s intellectual property rights. Our Freedom to Operate (FTO) search is designed to help you identify any active patents that could potentially be infringed by your product, process, or service. We go beyond simple keyword matching—our FTO analyses are performed by a former U.S. Patent Examiner who understands how to dissect claims, spot risk areas, and interpret the fine print that others might miss. By thoroughly reviewing relevant patents within your target territories, we help reduce the risk of costly infringement lawsuits and roadblocks. This service empowers you with clarity and confidence so you can move forward with commercialization, licensing, investment, or manufacturing—knowing where the risks lie and how to navigate them.
Infringement Analysis
Understand the Risks—And Opportunities—Before You Act:
Infringement concerns can stall innovation or open the door to strategic enforcement. Our Infringement Analysis service is designed to assess two critical paths: (1) whether your product, process, or service could potentially infringe on existing patents, and (2) whether someone else may be infringing on your granted patent. This two-way analysis gives you a powerful edge—whether you're seeking to mitigate legal risk or explore enforcement and licensing opportunities. Each analysis is conducted by a former U.S. Patent Examiner with deep expertise in claim interpretation, the doctrine of equivalents, and real-world examination insights. We meticulously compare the patent claims to the specific features of your product—or a potential infringer’s product—to uncover overlaps and red flags others may overlook. With this service, you gain the clarity and confidence needed to make strategic decisions around product launch, licensing, investment, or legal action—armed with an insider-level understanding of how infringement is evaluated.
Invalidity Analysis
Challenge With Confidence: When a patent is standing in your way—or being used against you—it’s critical to know whether that patent should have been granted in the first place. Our Invalidity Analysis service is designed to uncover prior art that may call into question the novelty or non-obviousness of an issued patent. Whether you're facing a potential infringement lawsuit, preparing for litigation, or planning to file a post-grant challenge like an IPR (Inter Partes Review), we provide a strategic, examiner-level deep dive to identify weaknesses in the asserted patent’s claims. Conducted by a former U.S. Patent Examiner, this analysis leverages expert knowledge of MPEP guidelines, prosecution history, and claim construction to find overlooked references and inconsistencies. We focus not just on citations—but on interpretation—looking at how each piece of art reads against the claim language to build a compelling invalidity argument. With this service, you’re not just reacting—you’re taking proactive control of the legal landscape, backed by the same level of insight used inside the USPTO.
Patent Valuation
Understand the True Value of Your Innovation: Our patent valuation service is designed to help inventors, startups, and established businesses understand the true worth of their intellectual property. Whether you're preparing for investment, licensing negotiations, M&A, or internal strategy, our valuation reports combine technical expertise with market analysis to deliver meaningful insights. What sets us apart is that every valuation is led by a former USPTO Patent Examiner with over 25 years of experience, delivering an insider-level of detail and accuracy that goes beyond surface-level estimates. Our customized reports utilize industry-standard valuation approaches and are tailored to your business goals, ensuring you are positioned to maximize the strategic and financial value of your innovation.
Venture Capital Strategy

We help you strategically develop, structure, and present your patents and trademarks in a way that highlights their commercial value and competitive edge. What sets us apart is our deep understanding of how investors evaluate IP—every strategy is crafted by a former USPTO Patent Examiner with over 25 years of experience in patent prosecution and portfolio management. Whether you're preparing for your next funding round or seeking strategic partnerships, we ensure your IP becomes a powerful asset that attracts capital, builds trust, and positions your company for long-term success.
