About

About This Business

There are six areas where I help people:

- Patent prosecution: filing a patent, responding to office actions and obtaining the patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Typically, I work in electro-mechanical devices and designs.

- Patent searching: I take a look at what you are working on, and tell you the technology that already exists in the field.

- Patentabilitiy Opinions: A patent search plus I tell you what parts of your device are worth pursuing patent protection.

- Trademark work: I take a look at your brand and provide suggestions as to how you can protect it.

- Copyright: I can help you file for copyright protection with the Library of Congress.

- Licensing and assignments: Sometimes other people want to use your device, work or brand. I can help you work out an agreement with them to ensure you are fairly compensated.

Years in Business: 14

BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
