Your trademark application is only as strong as the person behind it. I'm a paralegal with 10+ years of USPTO trademark experience, an ABA-approved paralegal certificate, and a track record working with startups, e-commerce sellers, law firms, and multinational corporations. I handle filings within 1–2 business days, and I'm based in California — which means I'm in your time zone, I respond within 4 hours during business hours, and you're never waiting on someone overseas to wake up when a deadline is approaching. Here is where I can specifically help: → Trademark clearance searches using USPTO TESS, common law sources, and WIPO databases → U.S. trademark application preparation and electronic filing (TEAS Plus and TEAS Standard) → Office action responses — I analyze the refusal, explain your options clearly, and draft a strategic response → Trademark portfolio management, renewals, assignments, and maintenance filings → Canada, EU, UK, and Madrid Protocol filings in coordination with foreign counsel → Honest pre-filing assessments — if your mark has a problem, I'll tell you before you spend money What working with me actually looks like: you send me your information, I get to work, and you receive a complete, accurate filing with a full summary of next steps — no back-and-forth, no surprises, no invoice padding. My proactive approach to drafting is designed to streamline the USPTO examination process, helping my clients avoid the typical delays associated with Office Actions. I'm not a law firm. That means faster turnaround, direct access to the person doing the work, and rates that don't include partner billing hours. When a situation genuinely requires an attorney, I'll tell you clearly and refer you to one. Most standard filings don't. Not sure where to start? Book the 30-minute consultation — $50, and the full cost applies toward your filing if you move forward. Send me a message with your brand name and I'll take a look before we even meet.

SUMMARY My name is Sung Oh. I am a Patent Agent (Reg. No. 45,583) with extensive experience prosecuting patents in AI, SaaS, medical devices, electrical systems, and mechanical products. I offer a Hybrid Model Patent Drafting service — clients provide their own initial draft, and I revise the specifications and claims to maximize allowability and minimize examiner rejections. This model leads to quality patents and lower costs. A few Hybrid Model flat fees are as follows: *Patentability Search of Prior Art: $500–$800 *Provisional Applications: $950–$1,500 *Non-Provisional Applications: $2,500–$3,500 *USPTO government fees are paid separately After eight years as a patent attorney, I co-founded several start-ups and learned firsthand how critical capital is to innovation. For early-stage companies, strategically crafted patents—particularly in mechanical systems, software, and AI. I raised over $20 million to fund three technology ventures built on inventions I personally engineered, patented, and brought to market. I also enforced my patents in litigation and achieved a favorable settlement against a major corporation. When those same patents were later challenged, I gained invaluable insight into what makes intellectual property truly resilient—both legally and technically. Today, I apply that experience to help start-ups protect and monetize their innovations—mechanical, software, or AI-based—so they can attract capital while conserving cash, backed by our service guarantee.

I am a patent agent, USPTO registration 68040, with more than 15 years of experience preparing, filing and prosecuting patents. From 2011 until late 2016, I was vice president of intellectual property at LitePoint Corporation, a Silicon Valley company. While there I prepared, filed and prosecuted over 125 patents. Since then, working solo, I have prepared, filed and prosecuted more than 250 patents, including well over 200 design patents. My background also includes marketing communications and marketing. When I look at an invention disclosure, I automatically look at it with an eye toward product development and product definition. Many find that insight very helpful.
