What are you looking for in a law firm? If you are an individual or small business, most likely it is assistance from a patent attorney who is knowledgeable, who responds to you, and who treats your patent needs as important. If you are a law firm, you are most likely seeking straightforward, efficient, and skilled patent counsel. These are our goals.
We provide large-firm expertise, with small-firm service and attention and rely on fixed fees wherever possible. To learn more about our patent, trademark, and copyright practice, select any of the topics listed above or contact us.
For example, while we serve clients across the United States and in foreign countries, our Washington, D.C. office location gives us access to the patent examiners at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) for filing needs, hearings, and personal interviews with patent examiners. Our location and experience make such interviews extremely economical, and serve to speed prosecution and narrow issues quickly, thereby saving the client prosecution costs over the long-run. This is an advantage to being a patent attorney in Washington, DC.

Recent Patent News
The Commerce Department’s United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the Danish Patent and Trademark Office (DKPTO) have announced that they intend to launch a new trial cooperation initiative called the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) today. The Patent Prosecution Highway is intended to leverage fast-track patent examination procedures already available in both offices to allow applicants to obtain corresponding patents faster and more efficiently. It also will permit each office to exploit the work previously done by the other office and reduce duplication. Under the Patent Prosecution Highway, an applicant whose application filed with either the DKPTO or the USPTO contains at least one allowable claim may request that the other office fast track the examination of corresponding claims in corresponding applications. The trial period will be set for one year but may be extended or terminated earlier depending on volume of activity and other factors. Both offices will provide notice of any adjustment in the trial period.
