The scope of our patent prosecution services is national and international. We help our clients develop a comprehensive patent strategy. It is important to identify potentially patentable ideas and other forms of intellectual property assets as early as possible. Accordingly, we work closely with clients to identify intellectual property assets and to establish patent filing strategies and policies.

The firm's expertise includes a variety of diverse technologies, including: semiconductor-related devices, such as memory devices and circuits; optical and electro-optical systems and devices; solid state, semiconductor and thin film device fabrication technologies; highly theoretical or mathematical computer hardware and software technologies; scientific, medical and biological instruments, sensors, and procedures; hydraulics; imaging systems, including all forms of display screen technology; appliances; voice-over-Internet applications; cell phone and other forms of communications technology; automotive technology; and xerographic technology. The firm also has specialty in standard technology such as 3GPP, 3GPP2, MPEG, etc.

Many of our patent attorneys are former patent examiners. We draw on their experience as patent examiners to prosecute patent applications in the most efficient manner. We have found that, in many instances, personal interviews with patent examiners can expedite prosecution, and minimize prosecution history estoppel issues. Our close proximity to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office allows us to conduct personal interviews in a cost effective manner.
