We offer low flat fees that a small business or independent inventor can afford.  Our fees are competitive with the best prices you will find. Contact us to find out.

 

Attorney - Client Representation

You should be working directly with a patent attorney to prepare and prosecute your patent application. Don't settle for limited consultations with a "practitioner".

Patent prosecution requires competent representation by an experienced patent attorney. We represent our clients and we fight for them.

Experience

We have 20+ years of experience in patent law. We handle everthing from filing and prosecuting your application to patent appeals, infringement, and litigation. 

There are many "registered practitioners" who do not have the experience to properly handle a patent application on their own. We are a full service patent law firm that can handle matters at the Patent Office and Patent Trial and Appeal Board up to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Location

We are located near to the United States Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria, Virginia. We can go to the Patent Office to conduct interviews with Examiners or to attend hearings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board which is sometimes necessary.

 

Anchor 1

We offer the high quality attorney-client representation before the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that is required for a patent application. Patent Office proceedings are often adversarial and patent examiners generally assume that applicants are represented by a competent patent attorney. The USPTO also recommends that patent applicants be represented by a competent patent attorney. It must be understood that a patent may be a valuable piece of intellectual property or it may be a worthless document depending on how it is drafted and prosecuted.  

 

Stonebridge IP provides highly quality patent application prosecution at low flat rate fees that a small business or independent inventor can afford.  You will be working directly with an experienced patent attorney in an attorney-client relationship, to prepare, file, and prosecute your patent application.
