Protecting Your Innovation, Securing Your Future

For many growing mid-sized companies with 500 or less employees, securing patents is not just a legal hurdle—it’s a critical step in protecting their product lines and staying ahead in the market. Yet, too often they face frustrating delays at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, rising legal and government fees, and are uncertain about whether their patent applications will ever be granted to protect their products. They are not even sure if the law firms they hire take the time to understand how their technology set them apart from their competitors, or are even aware of their business goals so the patents they do get fully protect the products as they evolve years down the road. Meanwhile, competitors move to cut into the products’ market share, potentially securing patent rights first or even putting the company at risk of infringement lawsuits. As a result, business growth is put on hold.

I do what I do because I believe innovative companies deserve a clear path to securing their intellectual property. Patents should protect your business, not create unnecessary roadblocks to growth. That’s why I focus on truly understanding the technology behind each invention, listening carefully to my clients’ needs, and thinking outside the box to overcome obstacles in the patent process. My goal is not just to get patents allowed but to look ahead to see how they can protect your products years down the road—so you can move forward with confidence, expand your business, and manufacture your products without fear of uncertainty.

With experience spanning government, in-house, R&D, and private practice, I bring a deep understanding of the patent system from multiple perspectives gained over the last 20+ years of serving my clients. I know how to navigate the complexities of the USPTO, anticipate challenges, and craft strategies that increase the likelihood of success. Whether you’re facing pushback from the USPTO or need guidance on strengthening your patent portfolio, I am here to help.
