U.S. Patent Services
Patent Preparation, Filing, and Prosecution
We are experts in all phases of the U.S. patent process, and it has been the core practice at Pauly, DeVries Smith & Deffner since the start of our firm in 2005. We understand the breadth of strategic options available during prosecution, as well as practical implications of policies and procedures while interfacing with the U.S Patent Office. With this knowledge, we can efficiently and effectively navigate the U.S. Patent Office rules and regulations to provide innovative solutions that allow our clients to help secure their place in their chosen markets.
We train our team of professionals to strategically draft and prosecute patent applications based on our Lean principles, IP best practices and our clients’ long-term objectives. These efforts result in delivering efficient, cost-effective solutions to complex and sophisticated patent matters.
Streamlined Workflow
We have created a standardized and Lean patent application drafting process that includes collaborating with our clients’ inventors and scientists to evaluate possible claims to set boundaries and define the scope of the invention very early in the process. This claims-first focus lays the foundation for a streamlined application process that reduces costly re-work. From our experience, the end result is a patent application that exceeds our clients’ expectations of quality, cost and timeliness.
Our highly trained group of paralegals and support staff has created, implemented, and streamlined over 60 common processes for U.S. and Foreign patent prosecution work. Our dynamic team continuously explores innovative ways to improve our processes and to better serve our clients.
All these combined efforts result in delivering efficient, cost-effective solutions to complex and sophisticated patent matters.
