The ‘useful Arts’ part of Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 is the source of the exclusive right to exclude others from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement of the foregoing, for a limited time. While abstract ideas, laws of nature, physical phenomena, i.e., what already exists in nature (whether or not already discovered), are not patentable, what is patentable essentially includes “anything under the sun that is made by man.”

I bring to bear common sense and practical answers with an understanding that what may be patentable may not be worth it. And in some cases, what may not be patentable, may very well be worth pursuing from a business perspective. I can advise you from practical to legal and once protected, to selling your patented product or service or licensing your patented idea to others, as well as stopping infringers.

I offer patent searching, patent drafting, patent prosecution, patent validity, infringement, licensing, market assessment services, all with personalized attention.
