ABOUT US

We are a law firm with a primary focus on preparing patent applications in scientifically and technically demanding fields. Our specialty is preparing patent applications that disclose interdisciplinary subject matter, including mathematics combined with computing technologies and computer science combined with physics, chemistry, and life sciences.

Our fundamental goal is to provide highest quality legal services at reasonable cost, and to engender enjoyable, interesting, client-driven, and long-term relationships.

We seek to charge reasonable fees, billing fairly only for tangible work product, including filed patent applications, filed office-action responses, filed appeal briefs, and opinion letters. We prefer to bill on a fixed-fee basis for projects in order to provide predictability, especially in complex scientific and technical projects that we love to undertake.
