What I do

• Perform patent searches, write, file and prosecute patent applications with the US Patent and Trademark Office and internationally, for inventors and companies.
• Contract intellectual property work from law firms and patent attorneys and patent agents within companies
• Assist entrepreneurs in startups
• Facilitate contacts between inventors and venture capital.

I can also assist the small inventor  in making his invention a success, by providing technical support, performing market studies, and supplying management assistance. We are located in San Diego.
