I don’t just draft patents — I help you build a business foundation that attracts investors, protects your ideas, and accelerates growth. As a biomedical engineer turned patent agent and entrepreneur, I’ve worked hands-on with inventors, startups, and venture capitalists to turn ideas into investable businesses. I understand both sides of the equation: what makes a patent strong at the USPTO and what makes a business strategy attractive to investors. Here’s how I can help: ✅ Patent Drafting & Prosecution – Provisional, utility, and PCT applications written with both legal strength and business value in mind. Experienced in medical devices, mechanical systems, construction equipment, consumer products, and more. ✅ Patent Portfolio & IP Strategy – Not just filing paperwork, but creating an IP roadmap that aligns with your funding and growth strategy. I help you prioritize filings, assess freedom-to-operate, and position IP as a core business asset. ✅ Business & Startup Strategy – Drawing on my background in real estate investment and venture capital, I advise founders on product-market fit, capital raising, and how to leverage IP in pitch decks and negotiations. ✅ Prior Art Searches & Patentability Opinions – Clear, actionable feedback on whether to move forward — saving you time and money. 💡 Why work with me? I bring the perspective of both an IP professional and a business builder. I’ve raised capital, worked with investors, and built successful ventures. I have personally invested my own money into several startup companies. My clients trust me not just to protect their inventions, but to help them position their innovations for market success. Whether you’re filing your first provisional, responding to an office action, or preparing for a funding round, I can help you navigate both the patent process and the startup journey with clarity and confidence. Let’s connect and discuss how to make your innovation stand out. NOTE - I do not take on trademark or infringement cases.
