Maiorana, PC

We specialize in Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights and have successfully prosecuted over 2,000 US patents. If you or your company need advice on Intellectual Property matters, we can help. Both corporate and individual inventors benefit from our experience in the patent application process. We can provide a variety of post-grant services, such as patent legal opinions, infringement analysis and licensing. Maiorana, P.C. is a small yet efficient patent law firm specializing in patent prosecution. We currently rank 187th in productivity of all law firms in the United States (according to Intellectual Property Today magazine). While a large majority of our work focuses on computer and semiconductor patent applications for silicon valley based companies, we also cater to the needs of smaller inventive entities as well as to the needs of solo inventors. Since we are a small firm and have minimal administrative overhead, we can quickly respond to the needs and concerns of our clients. Throughout the 20+ year history of the firm our responsive operation has shown the capability of shifting our attention to various new projects depending on the needs of our clients. We pride ourselves in having a thorough understanding of electrical and computer engineering. Not only do we have an overall expertise in the prosecution of electrical patent applications, but we also have the ability to shift attention to new areas relatively quickly. Our approach to obtaining high quality patents minimizes interactions with the US Patent Office and is typically more efficient and cost effective than most patent law firms. We use a multi-peer review technique that allows a collaboration between our patent attorneys to explore alternate approaches unique to each file. Since each patent application is reviewed at the US Patent Office by an individual Examiner, a technique that may be useful for one case may not be as useful for another case. As a result of our small size, we can implement this multi-peer review without any additional overhead to our clients. Approximately 70% of the cases we write are allowed after only one or two responses to US Patent Office rejections. By ultimately getting cases allowed with fewer responses, the overall invoiced amount needed to go from a disclosure to an issued patent is significantly less than other patent law firms. We typically offer flat-rate fees for work done. This arrangement offers predictability to our clients. Our process gives you the opportunity to re-evaluate each case before incurring any further costs. In addition, you will not receive any unexpected bills from our firm. Our broad expertise and knowledge covers areas such as computers, wired/wireless/optical networks, software, artificial intelligence, semiconductor fabrication, satellite navigation, SoCs, microwave frequency circuitry, bio-electronics, electro-optics, embedded testing, cryptography, solid-state drives, digital video, Internet of Things (IoT), social network user matching, Software as a Service (SaaS), and augmented reality.
