A strong patent is more than a legal documentāit is a business asset that defines the boundaries of your competitive advantage, deters infringement, and creates licensing and partnership opportunities. Getting it right requires attorneys who understand your technology as well as the law. Our patent team includes registered patent attorneys with engineering and science degrees who have prosecuted patents across nearly every major technical discipline.

We work with clients ranging from individual inventors protecting a first breakthrough to large enterprises managing global portfolios of hundreds of patents. In every case, our goal is the same: to secure the broadest, most defensible protection possible for what youāve created.
/ The Process
Guiding you from invention to issued patent.
The patent process is rarely straightforward, and the decisions made at the outsetāabout claim scope, application type, timing, and filing strategyāhave long-lasting consequences for the strength and value of the resulting patent. We provide experienced counsel at every step, beginning with the questions that matter most:
- Should I file a provisional or non-provisional application?
- How do I protect my invention before a patent issues?
- How many patents should I apply for, and in which jurisdictions?
- What scope of claims will give me the strongest protection?
- What are my options if my application is rejected?
- Are there alternatives to patents that would be more cost-effective?

Our team has a strong record of winning allowance for broad claims and of finding creative pathways to protection when initial applications face resistance. We also help clients build patent portfolios that are coherent, strategically aligned, and positioned to support future licensing, investment, and litigation needs.
/ TECHNICAL AREAS
Deep technical expertise across every major discipline.
Electrical Systems
Our electrical arts attorneys have experience across power system design, power electronics, feedback and controls, integrated circuits, wireless power transfer, lighting systems, solar arrays, and battery systems, among many others. We understand the technical language of the field and write applications that speak it fluently.
Semiconductors
Semiconductor technology demands attorneys who keep pace with an industry defined by shrinking geometries and relentless innovation. We have extensive experience prosecuting patents for major semiconductor companies, covering both circuit designs and manufacturing processes.
Mechanical Systems
Patenting in the mechanical arts requires creativityābasic mechanical principles have long histories that create prior art challenges not present in newer fields. Our mechanical arts attorneys bring the experience and strategic thinking needed to navigate these obstacles and secure meaningful protection.
Computer Architecture & Software
We know how to patent software inventions effectively, with particular strength in inventions that improve computing device operations and are closely tied to hardware. Whether your invention relates to processor design, memory systems, storage, networking, or operating systems, we can protect it.
Chemical & Materials
Our chemical technology experience spans medical and dental device materials, chemical compositions and catalysts, nano-technologies, combustion systems, separation columns, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics, among other areas.
Signal Processing & Communications
We have extensive experience in electronic communications, including telecommunications, wireless communications, signal generation and interpretation, and social network platforms. While a signal itself is not patentable, the equipment, methods, and mechanisms around it frequently are.
Biomedical
Our biomedical patent expertise is both extensive and genuinely technical. Our attorneys have studied and researched molecular biology, protein expression, prostaglandin synthesis, G protein-coupled receptor folding, and computational predictions of protein secondary structure. We have prosecuted patents in cloning, DNA sequencing, bio-manufacturing, RNA editing, diagnostics, small molecule drug design, cell signaling, and immunology. We understand the science behind your work.
