Patent services, from invention to impact.
Effective patent work starts with the end in mind. We help clients protect the technical core of an invention while considering how the rights may support growth, licensing, investment, and enforcement.
Is my invention patentable?
A strong application begins with an honest assessment. Patentability generally turns on whether the invention is new, useful, and sufficiently different from what came before.
Timing matters: speak with patent counsel before public disclosure, sale, launch, or investor presentations whenever possible.
Novel
The claimed invention must not already be disclosed in a single earlier reference.
Useful
The invention should have a credible and specific utility that can be explained in the application.
Nonobvious
The differences from existing solutions should not be obvious to a person skilled in the field.
