Need patent protection?

  Serving company CTOs, overwhelmed with the numerous details, deadlines, and demands of obtaining patent protection worldwide, I ensure that they understand the details, meet the deadlines, and fulfill the demands.  I help new entrepreneurs, not yet aware of all the steps and costs of turning ideas into patents, learn the steps and plan for the costs, as I guide them to effective patent protection that more than pays for their investments.

Need to take preemptive measures to avoid infringement or need to respond to an accusation of infringement?

  Depending on your particular circumstances, you may need a freedom-to-operate opinion or an invalidity/non-infringement opinion.  Perhaps a brief meeting would suffice. 

  Simply put, we need to talk.

Need a U.S. “Strawman”?

Picture
  Your alarmed client notices a competitor's patent application having claims that he/she might infringe.  Prior art exists that should serve as a solid basis of a rejection, but the client does not want to submit it personally thereby attracting unwanted attention.  In situations like this, I serve as a straw man, submitting the prior art, and the competitor knows nothing of the client’s activity.  (I only wish I knew what the competitor thinks seeing a submission from Israel.)

For my Patent Attorney Colleagues

Need an Israeli associate?

  Whether you urgently need to file a national phase application in Israel or you want to carefully plan filing an Israeli domestic application claiming Paris Convention priority, my office can accommodate you, sometimes within hours.  I also advise regarding PPH and modified (deferential) examination options and oppositions.  I represent applicants through all phases of prosecution.

Need a U.S. associate?

  Do not let my Israeli location mislead you.  My office serves as the U.S. associate for many non-American patent attorneys.  In the 21st century, we have electronic filing and Office Action reporting, high quality international calling, and we even conduct examiner interview via WebEx.  My clients appreciate my experience as a former examiner and my GMT+2 time zone.  My help is just a phone call or email away.
