I want to share some of the concerns my clients have expressed to see if you have similar concerns to pursue a patent, but I’m afraid I might be wasting my time and money. I want to avoid getting too far and investing too much. If it’s not doable, I want to figure out how to add significant value to my company by securing patent rights, to what I’ve created. I want to figure out if I can avoid competition by owning exclusive rights to what makes my product or service unique. I just want to have this part of my business handled without having to worry about it for a reasonable fee. I’m afraid I might be missing out on a big opportunity to grow my business and take it to the next level.

If you share some or any of these concerns, then we may be a match to work together. Let me give you a sense of what it’s like to work with us on a patent project. We’ve designed the process for people who are at the beginning stages of the patent process to help them really determine exactly where they want to go with their invention. We start every patent project with a patent of valuation. The purpose of the patent valuation is to really figure out whether it’s appropriate for them to jump into the patent process, because we want to do the most appropriate thing for your specific invention for your specific situation. The patent valuation is a process where we get to know you. We get to know you a goals so that we can do the right research, um, and then come up with a strategy to help you to meet your goals and to help you effectively pursue patent protection for your idea, set up a time to talk to my team and explore the possibility of us working together.
