Patent Preparation

Patent Preparation

A patent application comprises three main sections–written description, figures, and claims. The written description and figures provide support for the claims. The claims define the boundaries of the desired monopoly rights. We understand your complicated and diverse technologies. We have the technical education and expertise to understand complex inventions in a broad spectrum of technologies, which means we get to the heart of the invention efficiently. This saves time and money.

Engineered Drafting

Our attorneys are engineers first. With backgrounds at companies like Intel, Lockheed Martin, and L3 Communications, we don't just describe your invention; we deconstruct it. Our drafting process mirrors engineering design:

  • System-Level Architecture: We capture the high-level data flows and block diagrams.
  • Component-Level Detail: We drill down into the specific circuits, algorithms, or mechanisms.
  • Implementation Variants: We draft alternative embodiments that anticipate design changes and competitor workarounds.

Our Drafting Approach

Strong patent applications are built around clarity and optionality. We focus on capturing the core inventive concepts, multiple implementation paths, and practical claim coverage that matches your product roadmap. That means drafting with:

  • Multiple claim tiers (broad to narrow) and fallback positions
  • Engineering-aligned terminology that supports consistent interpretation
  • Alternative embodiments so you are not boxed into a single design
  • Figure strategy that supports claim breadth and future continuations

What We Need From You

To move quickly and keep costs predictable, we typically ask for:

  • A short invention disclosure or design document
  • System diagrams, flowcharts, block diagrams, or screenshots where relevant
  • Key advantages and what is new compared to prior approaches
  • Variations you might ship later, not just the current version

What You Receive

Depending on the engagement, deliverables can include:

  • A draft application for review with clear questions and assumptions
  • Proposed claim sets aligned to your business priorities
  • Guidance on filing strategy, including provisionals and follow-on filings

How The Process Works

  1. We intake the invention and confirm what matters commercially
  2. We outline the application structure and claim strategy
  3. We draft, review with you, and tighten technical accuracy and breadth
  4. We finalize for filing with a clean record and clear support for claims
