About Us: Why must patent attorneys have a technical background? Well, read this patent and it should provide you with a clue, as well as test your knowledge of flexural rigidity, often abbreviated EI, and torsional rigidity, often abbreviated GJ. Additionally, the value provided by a great patent prosecution attorney is often impossible for the non-lawyer to recognize; therefore, if I were hiring a patent prosecutor I would first-and-foremost look for one that has been repeatedly hired by in-house patent lawyers (i.e. someone that can fully appreciate the contributions of the patent application drafting attorney). The creative and clever patent prosecution lawyer does so much more than just transfer the inventor’s disclosure into a patent application. The ability to identify unique relationships, and those that are central to an invention and difficult to design around, while also avoiding the prior art to ensure validity, are the gifts of a skilled patent prosecutor (and only come after years of experience, and are not cheap). The old saying “good, fast, or cheap; pick any two,” is particularly true in patent prosecution – in fact, I would say pick any 1.5. If you think patent prosecution is a commodity service – you are living in the last century. We don’t offer commodity patent prosecution services. If you have an invention that you feel is going to be difficult to obtain patent protection on, but is essential to your business, then you need to expect to pay a premium, and of course – expect premium service.
