    With more than 30 years of experience as a patent practitioner, including 8 years as a Patent Examiner at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and more than two decades in both law firm and in-house environments, I offer high quality, affordable patent services. In addition to examining and prosecuting patent applications, I have also spent a great deal of time supporting licensing, infringement, diligence, interference, patent opposition, and freedom to operate efforts. While I have experience in all facets of intellectual property, I now specialize in helping independent inventors and small companies with patent applications.

My educational background is in Engineering Science and Mechanics with a specialization in Biomedical Engineering, but I have drafted and prosecuted hundreds of Utility and Design Patent applications in a wide variety of technologies. I have over a 95 percent success rate for the applications I prepare, file, and prosecute and over an 85 percent success rate for applications transferred to me. I work hard to make sure you understand your chances of success before you spend significant amounts of money, and I fight hard to get you all of the rights you are entitled to once we have filed your application. I am a registered Patent Agent and member of the USPTO patent bar with registration number 45302 (which can be verified at uspto.gov). I am insured and fully licensed to represent you on all patent prosecution matters, including drafting and filing patent applications, responding to office actions, and performing patentability searches and analyses. I also offer a free, one-hour confidential consultation to discuss the process, the costs, and some general strategy options tailored to your situation.
