Intellectual Property Development Services
We help individual inventors and small companies develop their ideas into patentable subject matter. When an inventor brings us a napkin drawing, we begin discussing the drawing, the intended ideas behind it and the inventor's vision as to how it is to be applied. As we think about the idea, we go to the drawing board and begin drawing patent figures and preparing patent claims for the intended invention and brainstorm alternatives, options and other applications. We are looking to broaden the idea into one or more patentable subjects.
