    Accept a patent agent position with Yee & Associates, P.C. and no longer accepting new work from Upwork. Also, trying to complete or withdraw from all Upwork assignment previously accepted. With more than 30 years of experience in the patent field, including 10 years as a Patent Agent registered at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, I offer high quality, affordable patent and intellectual property services. I earned my B.S. and M.S. degrees and passed qualifiers to pursue a PhD in mathematics. However, instead of pursuing a career in mathematics, I switched to taking graduate computer science classes and started my first career as a software engineer. At IBM I had a long history of innovation in software and hardware. I was an inventor of over 200 patents that were filed by IBM and authored papers which can be found by searching for me, Frank Eliot Levine. I have experience in all facets of intellectual property and now want to help independent inventors and small companies with handling their intellectual property including patent applications. I understand that maximizing protection while minimizing costs, especially upfront costs, is important to my clients. I prefer to perform my services for fixed (rather than hourly) fees to focus on client interaction and high-quality work. Fixed fees allow you to budget effectively for protecting your inventions and encourages open communication to foster your success. I have a passion for innovation. No matter what stage of the invention process you’re at I will help you succeed. Please see US patents 10593350 and 10474967 on USPTO.gov or freepatentsonline.com for examples of patents that I wrote, filed, and prosecuted. Other examples of patents that I prepared and filed with the USPTO include 9798864, 8615528, 8380737, 8566811, and 8675660. I am a registered member of the USPTO patent bar as a Patent Agent, which means I am fully authorized and licensed to represent you on all patent prosecution matters, including drafting, filing, and responding to office actions. My registration number is 67244, and can be verified at uspto.gov. I also offer a free, one-hour confidential consultation to discuss the process, the costs, and some general strategy options tailored to your situation. If you have any questions or would like to discuss how to get started, please contact me or reach out to me.

    My skill set includes mathematics, machine learning, and hands-on mechanics. For mathematics, I have a strong background in control theory, and published three papers in IEEE Trans. Cybernetics, IEEE Trans. Fuzzy Systems, and IEEE control systems letters, respectively. For machine learning, I worked on a robotics vision project where a transformer neural network was used to estimate the position and orientation of a bio-inspired sensor called an event camera. I am also working on a project that uses neural networks to predict the phase transition of materials. For hands-on mechanics, I built five airships during my undergrad program as a leader of seven students and won a second prize in the national “Challenge Cup” competition. I was in charge of the overall design and assembly of the airships. So, I have a basic understanding of the principle of mechanics and the mechanics of materials.
