From invention disclosure through patent issuance, we help clients develop patent strategies that protect commercially meaningful innovations and support long-term business objectives. Our attorneys prepare and prosecute patent applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, guiding clients through Office Actions, examiner interviews, appeals, and portfolio development. Every prosecution decision is made with an eye toward claim scope, future continuation opportunities, and the long-term value of the resulting patent portfolio.

Semiconductor innovation spans every stage of the technology stack, from device structures and fabrication processes to processor architecture, advanced packaging, and system-level design. We work with clients to develop patent strategies that protect commercially important innovations through coordinated claims covering devices, circuits, manufacturing processes, software, and system implementations. Our approach is tailored to where an invention fits within the semiconductor supply chain and how it may be practiced in the marketplace.

​Consumer products often combine functional engineering, safety, usability, materials, and industrial design, requiring intellectual property strategies that protect both innovation and product design. We work with companies to identify protectable features early in the product-development process and develop coordinated utility and design patent portfolios. Our approach helps clients build meaningful protection for both how a product works and how it looks.

​Software and artificial intelligence innovations require patent applications that clearly describe the underlying technological improvement and demonstrate how the invention advances conventional computer technology. We work with clients developing AI, software, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data analytics, and other emerging technologies to prepare strategically drafted patent applications and prosecution strategies. Our attorneys have substantial experience navigating patent eligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101 while building patent portfolios designed for long-term commercial value.

Medical device innovation often combines engineering, software, clinical application, and regulatory considerations that influence both product development and patent strategy. We work with companies developing diagnostic systems, surgical instruments, implantable devices, digital health platforms, and other medical technologies to build coordinated patent portfolios. Our approach focuses on commercially meaningful claim scope, alternative embodiments, and long-term portfolio development that supports successful commercialization.

Post-grant proceedings require strategic advocacy that considers not only the immediate Patent Office proceeding but also its impact on litigation, licensing, and long-term portfolio value. We represent patent owners and parties evaluating challenges through inter partes review, ex parte reexamination, and related proceedings before the USPTO and PTAB. Our prosecution, appellate, and litigation experience allows us to develop strategies that protect valuable intellectual property throughout every stage of the dispute.

The Unified Defense Program provides success-based representation for qualifying patent owners responding to ex parte reexamination requests filed by Unified Patents.
For accepted matters, the program offers a $20,000 success-based professional fee, payable only if the representation is successful and at least one challenged claim is confirmed as patentable, as defined in the written engagement agreement.

Program eligibility is subject to conflicts clearance, case evaluation, and a written engagement agreement. USPTO fees, experts, vendors, litigation, Federal Circuit proceedings, and other expenses are excluded unless expressly included. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
