Prior Art Search and Patent Specialist
Outstanding Patent Services since 2004
Let Me Help You on Your Patent Journey
If you are an independent inventor or own a small business, you are my ideal client. My overall intent is to assist in determining if you should apply for a patent and aid in determining how best to go about this somewhat daunting process.
Typically we will schedule a time for a discussion so that I can understand your concept or invention and your overall intention for applying for a patent. Next we will undertake a prior art search in order to determine what other similar patents, products, and/or concepts may already exist. From there we can determine the next best step towards application for a patent.
More than a dozen years’ experience in patent examining, prosecution, searching, and appeal process exposure as a Primary Patent Examiner with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is behind you during your patent journey.

Google, Meta, Nvidia, Amazon, IBM, Samsung, Microsoft, Cisco, SanDisk, Sun Microsystems, Sony, Intel, Honeywell, Fujitsu, Siemens, EMC, Verizon, Canon, VMWare, Hewlett Packard, Hitachi, ARM, Agilent, Xcerra, NEC, Silicon Graphics
