What is not offered yet
Drafting, filing, and prosecuting patent applications before the USPTO requires admission to the patent bar. Until that admission is confirmed, this firm does not offer those services and will not suggest otherwise.
That is the whole of the limitation. It does not extend to patent disputes, which are litigated in federal district court and are handled today.
What is available now
Trademark registration and enforcement, copyright registration and enforcement, and patent litigation in federal court are all open practice areas. So are contracts — including the assignment, licensing, and confidentiality terms that decide who owns an invention long before any application is filed.
If your matter has a deadline, say so. Patent deadlines are unforgiving, and a candid referral now is worth more than a place on a waiting list.
Common questions
Patent prosecution
Can you file my patent application now?
No. Filing and prosecuting applications before the USPTO requires admission to the patent bar, which is why this page says coming soon rather than open.
Should I wait for the practice to open?
Not necessarily. Patent deadlines are strict and some are unforgiving. Get in touch, and if your matter cannot wait you will get a candid referral rather than a delay.
What can be done in the meantime?
A great deal that is not prosecution: confidentiality and assignment agreements, ownership clean-up between founders and contractors, trademark and copyright protection for the surrounding brand and materials, and patent litigation if a dispute is already live.
