Fifteen Years Of Experience Helping Inventors

You devoted a significant amount of time and resources to the development of your invention. Therefore, you should not leave the product of your creativity and innovation unprotected. My law firm, Laurie A. Schlichter, PLLC, will advocate for the patent protection you deserve. With 15 years of experience, I know how to successfully argue for the grant of a patent. Because of my assistance, inventors worldwide are enjoying the benefits of patent protection for their inventions.

Assistance Throughout The Patenting Process

The process of obtaining a patent involves many complex steps. Because each step is important, you cannot afford to overlook any of the steps. From the first step to the last, I guide my clients through the intricacies of the process. Two steps are especially important:

• Patent application preparation – I have 15 years of experience preparing patent applications. I thoroughly understand the ins and outs of the process. Take advantage of my experience and knowledge by allowing me to prepare a patent application for you. I will prepare a quality application that thoroughly describes your invention in the manner required by U.S. patent law.

• Patent acquisition – After I have prepared your patent application, I submit it to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for review by a patent examiner. Patent acquisition is the process of persuading the patent examiner that a patent should issue for your invention. While the examiner may argue that your invention is not patent-worthy, I emphasize the patentable aspects of your invention and argue that a patent should be granted. I have proven on dozens of occasions that I can successfully overcome an examiner’s arguments and obtain patent protection for my clients. You can be my next success story.
