Our extensive experience in this field has produced hundreds (and hundreds) of granted patents in the United States and foreign countries. Our experience with software has ranged from inter-process architecture improvements, cryptography, security, database structuring and architecture, e-commerce applications, improvements in delivery routing, virtualization, and many other innovations.

Our combined experience with Fortune 100 companies in this field has extended for decades. We listen to the problems solved by and solutions of the inventors we work with, while concurrently formulating a strategic approach to claim intellectual property rights. We are mindful of and prepared for issues underlying claim construction, divided infringement, abstract idea rejections, and other concerns of experienced counsel at large companies with mature patent portfolios.

We are experienced with electrical systems and circuits in a range of products. We’re comfortable with sophisticated control techniques for power converters that rely upon “resonance” and “zero-voltage” switching, and we are actively involved with the technology relied upon for electric vehicles and related infrastructure. We are also experienced with optics and optical systems, including semiconductor-based optical systems.

Our experience with semiconductors and semiconductor device manufacturing processes covers low and high voltage and power devices, over a range of semiconductor materials, including wide bandgap materials. Our experience also covers digital, analog, and mixed-format integrated devices, for use in a range of different applications.

Mechanical devices and systems demand a different approach than computer, software, and electrical systems. Mechanical innovations often depend on complex spatial relationships, materials, movements, and interconnections. We’re comfortable with 3D renderings of inventions including many moving parts and pieces, and our understanding of the static and dynamic relationships of those parts informs and encourages our discussions with inventors. We work with technical illustrators to present the views necessary to understand all the important features of each invention.

Our understanding of the particular concerns in the field of mechanics also extends to our discussions with patent examiners. We know that patent examiners in the field of software approach patent claims with a different eye than patent examiners in the field of mechanical devices and systems, and we always tailor our approach.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning have shown that computer systems are capable of handling and improving various business processes, sometimes automating tasks traditionally performed by individuals. However, various jurisdictions have legal requirements on whether some types of software-related inventions are indeed patentable. Patent applications that include artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions, among other types of software, must be sufficiently enabled.

Our experience with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other types of software includes patent preparation and prosecution in various technical fields, such as cryptocurrency and smart contracts, network services, object analysis and detection, crop yield forecasting, as well as a range of other applications.

Today, the medical device industry includes a multitude of varying products— from surgical robotic systems to improved catheters to artificial intelligence-assisted imaging equipment—and thus plays a critical role in developing new medical technologies that improve medical practicioners’ ability to diagnose and treat illness.
