Patent Office Knowledge

We have often sat down with the patent office examiners in face-to-face interviews to maximize your chance of securing your patent. Getting the information first-hand about what we need to do to move the process along is invaluable when it comes to saving you time in the prosecution of your patent. We know how the office works, who to talk to and the policies. We attend the patent office meetings for our industry, read the patent office register to stay up-to-date on the latest changes and stay current on anything that could affect your path to prosecution. We will always go the extra mile to work to get the best result for our client.

Writing the number of opinions we do ensures we stay current with changes in the laws and any legal developments to avoid unwanted rejections.
