USPTO Nonprovisional Utility Patent Application (NPA) Draft and file your application with the USPTO, including a Specification covering embodiments and best mode of your invention, Drawings (≤4 CAD sheets drafted at our expense), and Claims which distinctly and broadly cover the subject matter of your invention. The NPA includes preparation and filing of an information data sheet with prior art references, your inventor’s oath, application data sheet, transmittal form, small or micro entity certification form if applicable, power of attorney form and fee calculation sheet.
USPTO Provisional Utility Patent Application (PPA) Draft and file your application with the USPTO, following the same standard as for a NPA. While a PPA gives you “Patent Pending” status, a PPA expires within 12 months of filing if not followed with a NPA. Note that the AIA’s new “first inventor to file” system gives the inventor only 12 months of “grace period disclosures” before their own disclosures are used as prior art against their own application.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueRichard is a one of a kind of person who I will always want on my side. He was a complete professional throughout my successful application for a trademark and continues to be as we work on two patent pending prototypes that I designed. Richard is a straight shooter, smart, and willing to work with individual artists like myself. His communication style is straight forward and thoughtful. I am very glad I made an appointment and walked into his office. I am certain our relationship will continue into the future. Highly recommended!Richard is a one of a kind of person who I will always want on my side.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueI have had the opportunity to work with two previous patent lawyers on other projects prior to meeting Rich and all I can say is that I wish I would’ve had met Rich for my previous projects. He is very professional, very knowledgeable, very meticulous and very thorough. From our very first meeting he had a full understanding of my product and was able to provide great feedback. He was great at communicating with me and keeping me in the loop he always responded right away. That is something that I appreciated very much given my previous experience when I wouldn’t get a response for several days to weeks. It has been a real pleasure working with him and I feel I finally found somebody with whom I will continue to work in my future projects.I have had the opportunity to work with two previous patent lawyers on other projects prior to meeting Rich and all I can say is that I wish I would’ve had met Rich for my previous projects.
