Hire the Best Software Licensing Specialists
Fort Worth, Texas
I am a U.S. citizen and U.S.-based Contracts, Patent, and Trademark Documentation Specialist with dual residency in Colombia and Texas, bringing more than 45 years of hands-on experience drafting, revising, preparing, and filing U.S. and international intellectual property documentation. Over the course of a 50+ year career as an international software entrepreneur, I have personally developed patented technologies and secured trademarks for multiple international enterprises, with issued patents in the United States and Mexico. This entrepreneurial background gives me a rare, practical understanding of how intellectual property must function not only legally, but commercially and strategically. Today, I apply these decades of experience to support inventors, startups, founders, and intellectual property attorneys by delivering clear, technically precise, and examiner-ready patent and trademark documentation. I do not provide legal advice or legal representation. Instead, I focus on the technical drafting, structural integrity, clarity, completeness, and procedural accuracy that strengthen applications before they reach the USPTO or international offices. My background includes drafting full patent specifications, structuring and editing claims, preparing drawings and reference numerals, developing provisional and non-provisional applications, conducting patentability searches, assisting with Office Action responses, performing trademark searches, and preparing filing-ready trademark and copyright documentation. Clients work with me when they need: Technically sound patent drafts ready for prosecution Claims that are readable, properly scoped, and internally consistent Reliable filing support that meets USPTO deadlines without sacrificing quality Clear risk analysis before investing in filing and prosecution I am efficient, detail-driven, and highly accustomed to working under tight timelines. Most projects are delivered as polished drafts ready for attorney review or direct client filing. ๐น Services Offered Patent, Trademark & Copyright Documentation and Filing Support Trademark Services; - Trademark registration and filing (USPTO and international) - Comprehensive trademark search and clearance analysis - Likelihood of Confusion (Section 2(d)) analysis and risk assessment - Office Action responses and prosecution support - Trademark renewal and maintenance filings Patent Services; - Patentability search and novelty assessment - Patent application drafting (provisional and non-provisional) - Claims drafting, restructuring, and clarity editing - Full specification drafting (Background, Summary, Detailed Description) - Patent sketches and figure preparation with reference numerals - Prior art summaries and comparison matrices - Office Action technical response drafting support - Patent filing preparation and submission support Copyright Services Copyright application preparation and filing support Work classification and documentation review Today, I bring that hard-earned insight to founders and early-stage companies.
