The Firm's Mission

  To serve 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 compensates for their investments.

  I invite you to contact me to discuss what I may provide to you.

Using a Patent Straw Man

  I do not write “patent straw man” as a reference to a nerd parody of The Wizard of Oz.  In legal parlance a “straw man” is a person named as a party to an action, although he has no principal or direct interest therein but instead acts on behalf of another and concealed person or entity having the interest. 
  As an example in the patent arena, a business may use a straw man patent attorney to oppose the grant of patent to the business’s competitor so as not to identify itself to the competitor as a potential infringer should the patent become granted later.  More information on this subject will be published on this site soon.  If you have an immediate need, though, please contact me now.
