Services
From the first prior-art search to international filings, everything you need to protect an invention — delivered by a USPTO-registered patent agent in Utah and nationwide.
Before you spend on a full application, it pays to know what's already out there. We run prior-art searches and deliver a clear patentability opinion that tells you, in plain terms, how crowded the field is and where your strongest claims likely lie. That lets you invest in filings with a realistic path to allowance instead of finding out after the fact. Search results also shape how the application is drafted from day one.
We prepare and file utility, design, and provisional patent applications with the USPTO. A provisional locks in an early filing date and gives you twelve months to develop and commercialize before committing to a nonprovisional. When it's time, we draft the nonprovisional with a specification and claims written to read on your invention and to satisfy the written-description and enablement requirements of §112 — so the patent you pursue is one you can actually defend and enforce.
Most applications receive at least one rejection. We respond to office actions across the full range of grounds — subject-matter eligibility under §101, novelty under §102, obviousness under §103, and written-description, enablement, and definiteness under §112 — with reasoned arguments, targeted claim amendments, and direct communication with your examiner, including examiner interviews where they help move the case forward. Already working with another practitioner and just need office action help? That's welcome too.
If your market extends beyond the United States, we file Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications and help you plan a sensible national-stage strategy — entering the jurisdictions that matter for your business while keeping costs proportional to the value of protection in each one.
For startups and growing companies, patents are a business tool, not a trophy. We help you build a portfolio strategy that supports fundraising and investor due diligence, sequenced into a budget-aware filing schedule that respects your runway. Together, you decide what to file, when, and why — so your IP spend tracks the way the business actually grows.
Many inventors know they have something valuable but aren't sure how to turn it into a protected, business-ready asset. We offer practical guidance across that whole arc — from documenting and assessing the idea, to choosing the right type and timing of filings, to thinking through how the protected technology fits your path to market.
This is strategic and prosecution-focused IP guidance consistent with the scope of a registered patent agent. It is not a substitute for legal advice on matters outside patent practice before the USPTO, and we'll flag when something calls for a licensed attorney.
That's exactly what the free strategy call is for. Tell us about your invention and we'll point you to the right next step — even if that step is "wait and document."
