Patent Quality Benefits:

Patent Drafting & Prosecution

A written patentability opinion, based on a professional prior art search, provides the basis for well-informed decisions on exactly what to claim, facilitates cost-effective prosecution, and leads to broad issued claims that are more likely to be found valid, and less vulnerable to design-around.

Provisional Applications

International Applications

Using the PCT process to enter multiple foreign national applications defers some costs, and typically reduces total costs.
