With approximately thirty years of experience in patent prosecution (the process of getting a patent application), I take pride in being able to offer creative solutions to clients' real needs.  I will work with you to meet your patent goals.

I help obtain patent protection for mechanical devices (e.g. medical, tools, toys), software, business methods, and electrical apparatus. My services range from writing the patent application, to responding to Office actions from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, to obtaining and maintaining an issued patent.  I also help clients determine patentability and whether their product would infringe the intellectual property of others.

I am licensed to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as in Oregon and California.  I represent clients from all over the world.
