A Dependable Extension of Your Practice
Technical fit
AI/ML, software, semiconductors, electronics, telecommunications, and networking, drafted by a former examiner with about 10 years of engineering experience. Selected consumer product, mechanical, and medical device matters are also accepted, confirmed per assignment.
Your templates and conventions
Drafts follow your firm's templates, formatting standards, and claim conventions to reduce formatting and integration work.
Assignment scope, per matter
New applications, claim sets, continuations, and office action responses, each scoped in writing for the specific matter.
Drafting rationale that survives the handoff
When included in the agreed scope, your supervising attorney receives a concise record of material claim decisions, supporting disclosure, alternatives considered, and unresolved questions. It helps with review and later prosecution without duplicating the file history. Client communication follows your direction.
Revisions and communication
Revision rounds and points of contact are agreed at the start, so expectations are clear for the firm and the client.
Capacity and timing
Availability and schedule are confirmed before each assignment is accepted, including for time-sensitive filings.
Clear Scope on Every Matter
Conflicts check
Party names first. No client materials are shared until the check is clear.
Assignment scope and fees
Deliverables, templates, review steps, schedule, and fees agreed in writing for each matter.
Drafting
Inventor interviews as you direct, then claims, specification, and figures drafted to your standards.
Review and handoff
Revisions with the supervising attorney, then handoff for filing, or filing and responses where the assignment includes them.
How Engagements Are Supported
Direct attorney involvement, backed by the systems a technology company expects. The practice also carries professional liability insurance.
Capacity confirmed up front
Availability and schedule are confirmed in writing before an assignment is accepted, including for time-sensitive filings.
Docketed deadlines
USPTO deadlines are tracked in a professional docketing system.
Secure handling of materials
Technical materials are exchanged through a secure client platform, after conflicts are cleared and the engagement is in place.
