I'm an ex-Patent Examiner with 5+ years at the USPTO facilitating Patent prosecution offering my Patent Expertise to small time inventors, to help them curb the costs of Patent Prosecution! The world of Patents can be intimidating and needless to say costly. The process of going through the Patent Prosecution process can be seem daunting but my goal is to simplify the process, so for your next invention, you don't need to hire me! I've obtained my degree in Mechanical Engineers, and found an interest with the Patent Law world since my freshmen year of college, as I felt like I didn't fit in to the generic "Mechanical Engineer" mold. Breathing life to an idea into the physical world always infatuated me, and I made it my goal at the USPTO to help facilitate innovation. At my time at the USPTO, I've aided major corporations such as GE, Philip Morris, Toyota and more in ensuring they attained the proper protection, but some of most memorable moments was helping Solo Inventors (Pro-Se Applicants) attaining protection for their inventions, which is why I'm committed to helping small inventors gain the proper protection at an affordable price! Whether you have an idea that you want an assessment on before you go through the prosecution process, need help with searching for Prior Art, or replying to Office Actions, I'm committed to providing valuable insight to make the process less pain-stacking (and expensive). I offer a FREE 1 hour consultation call to go over your idea, and walk you through the process. Some of the services I can provide: - Prior Art Search - Mock-Up Office Actions - Advise on Responses to Office Actions Packages Available: PATENT ASSESMENT PACKAGE: - 1 Hour kickoff Call - Review of invention disclosure/notes - Prior Art Search - Recommendation on Whether to proceed with Patent OFFICE ACTION STRATEGY SUPPORT: - Review of Office Action - Strategy memo breaking down examiner's reasoning - Technical suggestions and Roadmap FULL PACKAGE: - Extensive Prior Art Search - Mock Up Office Action - Advice on whether to Proceeded -Full End-End Office Action Response Guidance with Roadmap So do you got an idea? Let's work!Patent Search
