The firm prepares and prosecutes utility patent applications before the USPTO, including responses to office actions, examiner interviews, appeals, and continuation practice. The firm also counsels clients on patentability, freedom to operate, portfolio strategy, PCT and national phase filings, and post-grant matters including inter partes review.
