Many business owners are told they need patents. However, it's critical to understand the purpose of a patent before moving forward. This is exactly what Jim helps his clients do with his 25+ years of experience.

There are many reasons to obtain a patent. For example, entrepreneurs may wish to reap the benefits of having a patent pending, increase their company's value or use a patent for marketing purposes.

Whatever the goal, Jim works to strategize and advise business owners on the best path forward.&nbsp;

Through Jim's understanding of what is required and the most efficient way to get there, business owners can reach their goals faster and protect their assets.

Building a relationship with his clients is important to Jim. He aims to get to know them personally, cultivating trust and confidence. They can rest assured that Jim always has their best interests at heart. Nothing excites him more than watching his clients' businesses grow.

"I love to see a startup company grow over time and feel like I had some small part in it." —Jim Larson
