Our firm is large enough to handle complex matters and high-volume assignments, and lean enough to avoid bureaucracy and maintain efficiency.

Our patent attorneys are highly skilled in various technical disciplines, but they do not work in a vacuum – equally important are our competent administrators. Everything which may be performed without technical insight in the specific invention is handled by our IP administrators, including filing applications and office action replies with patent offices, preparing filing reports, attending to annuity fees, etc. The support from the administrators is invaluable for the patent attorneys because they can focus their attention on the client and concentrate on bringing value to the case.

We communicate effectively with our clients and generally prefer a telephone conversation over a lengthy email for a better alignment of the client’s wishes and our work. This helps us translate our efficient work layout and our effective communication into lower expenses for our clients.

The text in the description of a patent application contains both obligatory parts and some free-style text allowing the applicant to explain embodiments of the invention. We put substantial effort and imagination into the embodiments but tend to omit an overly detailed description. In other words, we give the patent offices what they need for granting the patent but preserve the more hands-on details as trade secrets.

We are sure-footed in conventional patent prosecution and that allows us to go to the limit and beyond if needed for pursuing our clients’ interests. We use our experience to amend an application during examination to obtain the right scope of protection in the first response to avoid excessive correspondence with the patent office.
