Writing a Patent

About the author
For more than a decade, I have prepared and prosecuted patent applications as outside patent counsel for large and small companies, individual inventors, and spin-offs and start-ups of local Universities. I have experience drafting and prosecuting a wide variety of electronic and software-related subject matter. For example, distributed antenna systems, robotic control vehicles, graphical user interfaces, data storage, mobile banking, and industrial cabling, and nuclear road measurement gauges. Having A Great Idea Is Only The Beginning. Protecting Your Idea Can Make The Difference. In my experience, the patenting process can be expensive and intimidating for most individual inventors who have never filed a patent application before. It doesn’t have to be either of those things for most people. I enjoy working with individuals who have a clever solution to a problem and just need help navigating the often arcane language of patent law. I will help you turn your idea into your own non-provisional patent application ready to file with the U.S. Patent Office.
