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.
If you want a strategic partner who respects your time, your budget, and your ambitions, we might be a strong fit.

“Rich Goldstein saved us from costly IP missteps
by clearly explaining what was worth protecting and what wasn’t. I always knew exactly what we were doing and why.”
“Working with Goldstein IP changed how we think about IP.
Rich doesn’t just file patents, he helps us use them strategically in investor and licensing conversations.”
“After bouncing between a few firms, partnering with Rich
was a different experience entirely. Flat fees, clear communication, and real business insight behind every recommendation.”
