Patent Prosecution

Strategic guidance through USPTO examination.

​

Filing is only the beginning. Most applications receive rejections or objections during examination, and the quality of the prosecution work often determines whether you end up with a patent that is both meaningful and enforceable.

​

My 15 years of prior USPTO experience informs how I approach Office Actions, interviews, and appeal strategy, with an emphasis on clarity and a well-supported record.

I handle prosecution with a clear strategy. Keep the claim scope commercially valuable, build a clean record, and move the case forward efficiently under the USPTO’s published rules and procedures.

 

Prosecution services include:

​

Office Action Responses

 

Strategic written responses to rejections and objections, including claim amendments when appropriate, supported by the record and the specification.

 

Examiner Interviews

 

Professional interviews with examiners to clarify issues, narrow disputes, and advance prosecution where possible.

 

Appeals to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB)

 

When needed, I pursue appeals of final rejections to challenge unfavorable decisions and protect claim scope.

 

Why my USPTO experience matters

​

Having spent 15 years at the USPTO, I prepare applications with an examination-focused mindset. That means writing clearly, supporting the claims thoroughly, and anticipating the types of issues that commonly arise during prosecution.

​

In practice, this helps clients:

​

• Reduce avoidable back-and-forth during examination

• Preserve flexibility for amendments if needed

• Present the invention in a way that supports stronger outcomes over time
  ​

No outcomes are guaranteed, but disciplined preparation improves the quality of the process and the strength of the work product.

 

You will receive direct attorney communication and practical guidance from start to finish. If you want a lawyer who will explain tradeoffs, keep the process organized, and help you make smart IP decisions, you are in the right place.
