Patent Prosecution
If your business is based on a product that only your company makes, you know the value of patents to protect the proprietary technology that gives your product a competitive advantage. The patent prosecution process, however, can be long and involved. It requires careful attention to detail from the concept of the invention all the way through the granting of a patent. The registered patent attorneys at Fulwider Patton have backgrounds in engineering and science such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, biology and medicine. We have the technical background and practical experience to understand and appreciate your invention and the legal knowledge to prosecute patent applications with speed and efficiency.
Inventions are valuable investments. Protecting those investments requires effective, knowledgeable prosecution of patent applications.
Fulwider Patton successfully prosecutes patent applications through:
- Working closely with inventors and others to gain a full understanding of the invention and scope that should be protected
- Drafting records of invention with the inventors so that the origin of the invention is clearly documented
- Establishing policies and procedures for the company's internal patent process
- Setting internal standards for what should be patented and what should be protected as a trade secret
- Preparing applications and other documents for the Patent Office
- Arguing the case for a patent in administrative hearings
Fulwider Patton represents clients from throughout California and the United States, Europe and Pacific Rim from our offices in Los Angeles, California. For the widest possible protection of your rights, we work with a global network of intellectual property resources.
