1-Screening
We then seek out and screen several attorneys on your behalf. We gather
their resumes that document their education and experience. We also
ensure they have a clean record at the BAR Association. We call pervious
clients to check on the attorneys references. We often even visit
the attorney’s office and interview their support staff. All to ensure
you have a trustworthy and competent Attorney.
2-Matching
We match you to three different Intellectual Property Attorneys. There are several considerations in our matching process. The criterion of which is proprietary, however we can tell you that Legal Experience and Geographic Location play a big part in finding the right attorney for you.
3-Reviewing
After the matching process is complete, we send you detailed profiles of each of the Attorneys we have selected for you. This gives you power and control. You also can feel confident that all the attorneys are qualified. You simply need to choose the Attorney you feel most comfortable with. How do you do that? Call them and speak with them.
4-Consultations
Now the fun begins. Call each of the attorneys for a free phone consultation.
Find out if your idea is unique and patentable. Find out what they
think your plan of attack should be. Find out how much they think
the entire process will cost. Compare and contrast your conversations
with the Attorneys, as well as their expertise and their ability to
communicate clearly with you. You want to have an Attorney you feel
comfortable working with over the next couple of years.
5-Protection
Once you have chosen from the three trustworthy and competed attorneys we’ve matched you to, you are ready to begin the process of protecting your idea. This could include market analysis and patent searches to make sure your idea is truly unique; an important step in the process that could save you thousands of dollars. Once you’ve passed this stage, you will be able to apply for a provisional patent. Provisional patents are an inexpensive way for you to “put your foot in the door” at the United States Patent Office. Not only does this officially protects your idea, making it yours, it also gives you the right to say your idea is “Patent Pending”.
