Our patent team is trained and experienced in all major technical disciplines, including materials, electrical, chemical and mechanical engineering, as well as software and hardware computer technology. This includes sophisticated electronic and mechanical technology, such as power systems and emissions systems, among others.
Many of our attorneys have advanced degrees in their field (master’s and/or Ph.D.) and have served as Examiners at the USPTO, providing them with a unique perspective and allowing them to build in strategies that ensure a more efficient process. This diverse legal knowledge, coupled with industry and patent experience, enables us to work directly with our clients’ personnel in their respective fields to protect innovation.
Our patent team has filed more than 40,000 patent applications since 2010, with an allowance rate at the USPTO of nearly 80%. We use a process-oriented structure to manage our clients’ patent portfolios in order to significantly reduce pendency from filing to issue, achieving a much more concise file wrapper while also reducing in-house burden.
Our also attorneys handle matters associated with patent mining and landscaping – from charting patent claims to studying the prior art citation history – to help our clients identify trends, patterns and correlations that can help shape the organization’s direction and future. We work with each client and their technologists to strike a balance between their stated business objectives and market opportunities, guiding them through the process to ensure they’re maximizing the potential of their technical developments.
