Our Services

Patentability Opinion

Is your idea new and can you get a patent?  Having a patent opinion from an experienced patent attorney is crucial in determining whether or not you can protect your idea from competitors.  Within approximately 10 business days, we will undertake a patent search and one of our attorneys will write a patentability opinion.  We want you to know the strength of your product before you move forward with patents, prototypes, and marketing.
