A skilled patent attorney provides valuable protection and helps safeguard inventions as they’re going through the patent approval process. Patent attorneys handle patent prosecution, litigation, consultation, research and problem-solving, guiding the inventor through each stage of the process.

<em>“I didn’t know the law when I was running a startup, and I wasn’t able to protect myself. These challenges inspired me to study the law and learn how to protect myself, my family and my clients.”</em>
