The law office continues to do what it does best: build and zealously protect our clients’ intellectual property. Congratulations to Effie, Matt and Samuel for their new patents. These are the first patents for all of them. Effie is a physical therapist. She invented an agility, coordination and balance training system that I have personally beta-tested. And that is me right there in the patent line drawings, standing on a vibrating platform while moving magnetic checkers from one side of the board to the other, standing on one foot. It was harder than it looks!

US Patent 12,268,645

For anyone who has ever cried cutting an onion, Matt designed an improved countertop air filter and fan. On a more serious note, Samuel and his partner discovered a new medication to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. There is nothing like patent delivery day. 14 years in, it’s still what I look forward to the most. Susana, who I’ve written about before, uses her registered trademark and copyright to quickly take down counterfeiters on TikTok.

For every 10 clients who celebrate the beginning of a new venture, another one panics because he has just received a cease-and-desist letter or, worse yet, a lawsuit. Some of these are one-off. Others come from serial litigants, companies and law firms who are in the business of  scanning the Internet for potential claims. These do not scare us. We roll up our sleeves and get to work. We thoroughly investigate all claims, meritorious or not. We identify options for our clients, skillfully negotiate with the other party, then resolve the matter so our clients can move on with what they do best, running their business.

You came to this website probably because you Googled “patent application,” “patent attorney” or “trademark application.” So, why hire me? In a world where less expensive options abound, if you call me, I’ll answer the phone. Me. If you email me, I’ll write back, and most usually within a couple hours. I model for patent drawings, too. You have a business to run, and you need answers when you need them. I treat clients how I want other professionals to treat me, with attention and respect. Don’t take my word for it, read what other happy clients have said about me.
