Patent Law is different from all other areas of law. Drafting a valuable patent requires understanding the law, business, and most importantly, technology.
Our practitioners have decades of real "in-the-lab" experience and love technology. Our "patent engineers" are practicing patent law because they love being on the technology learning curve. Drafting patent applications is a rewarding method to stay in the loop of technological advancement.
Engineering a patent involves:
1) Reviewing your invention to ensure that we have an experiences person who can understand the nuances of your technology. If we don’t have the right person, we will be glad to refer you another firm.
2) Working with the inventor to gain an understanding of the strategic purpose of the patent and define to the inventive concepts of this technological advancement.
3) Outlining the invention in the form of preliminary patent claims and figures.
Once we have this outline, we often recommend conducting a prior art search to evaluate whether the invention is patentable. In some cases, clients will modify their inventions based on the results of this prior art search.
4) Drafting the formal patent application based on the outline.
5) Updating the patent application based upon constructive feedback from the inventors.
The next time you need a patent drafted, ask yourself who you want drafting it. We always recommend finding a "patent engineer" who has experience in your technical field, whether it be an electrical, mechanical, chemical, biology, or information technology field.
