You already know IP isn’t something to Wing. Now you need the right partner.
If you’re here, you already understand
that patents and trademarks are business investments, not paperwork.
You want an attorney who will:
- Review where you are in your business and product roadmap.
- Identify what should be protected now, what can wait, & what may not need protection at all.
- Outline clear next steps and flat‑fee options, if moving forward makes sense.
That is exactly how we’ve structured Goldstein IP.
For over 30 years we’ve been partners to entrepreneurs, founders, and experienced inventors who care about doing IP right the first time, and want a strategic advisor, not a form‑filler.

About RICH GOLDSTEIN
I’m Rich Goldstein, founder of Goldstein Patent Law. For more than 30 years, I’ve helped entrepreneurs and inventors protect what they’ve built with clear, practical IP strategy. Along the way, the American Bar Association asked me to write the consumer guide that explains patents in plain English. Today, attorneys and innovators across the country use that book to understand how to talk about IP.
I’ve guided my clients from the beginning to the end of their journey, from first filing to planning their exit. As the only patent attorney who is also a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), I understand how your IP fits into valuation, deal structure, and the eventual sale of your business.
My philosophy is simple: We recommend only the protection a client actually needs, explain the options clearly, and we treat every matter like it’s part of a bigger business story, not an isolated filing.
That approach has led to:
- 10,000+ inventors and entrepreneurs advised.
- 2,500+ patents obtained.
- Clients ranging from first‑time founders to seasoned operators in AI, biotech, e‑commerce, and beyond.
If you want a strategic partner who respects your time, your budget, and your ambitions, we might be a strong fit.
