Today's patents are issued in an environment where attorneys don't understand the technology, examiners are overworked, and the law itself is evolving. It is easy to obtain worthless, unenforceable patents, or have your business model be threatened by one.
Benjamin Kuo, Esq. leverages his tech industry background, legal education, people skills, and examiner experience at the USPTO to bring your organization high quality, streamlined patent prosecution, at a fraction of the cost of a large firm.
If you are a startup, we offer a graduated strategy to obtain a filing date at minimal cost and defer expensive prosecution. We also help you secure trademarks that protect your name and brand and it is more affordable than you think.
Should you be threatened with a patent or trademark suit, we can determine whether in fact the infringement claim has merit, and more importantly, whether the IP asserted is enforceable, as well as providing lower-cost strategies compared to litigation in federal court.
