Who we serve
Semiconductor and chip companies developing advanced processors, SoCs, and custom silicon.
Computing and electronics companies building high‑performance systems and architectures.
Technology startups that need scalable, prosecution‑ready patent portfolios in complex hardware and embedded systems
FOCUSED PRACTICE
We design, develop, and maintain high‑quality patent portfolios for a select group of technology clients, with a primary focus on advanced electronics, computer systems, and chip architecture
TRACK RECORD
Our team brings over 90 years of cumulative IP experience and has prepared and prosecuted more than 7,000 patent applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, along with foreign counterparts.
All practitioners hold at least one post‑graduate degree in law, engineering, or a related technical field
BUSINESS IMPACT
Patents we have prepared and prosecuted have been enforced against, licensed by, or sold to leading technology companies and institutions, including major computer, semiconductor, and software companies as well as prominent universities
TECHNICAL DEPTH
We draw on more than 60 cumulative years of R&D and industry experience in computer, electronics, and related technologies, giving us deep familiarity with the architectures and systems our clients are patenting
““Jim’s ability to make complex patent concepts simple without losing their substance helped our team think more critically about innovation and claim strategy. His sessions prompted real changes in how our engineers and business leaders approach patents.””
Boutique patent prosecution by design – we intentionally limit our practice to focused patent counseling, preparation, and prosecution.
Technically strong – 60+ years of combined design and engineering experience in computer, electronics, and chip architecture.
Work‑product excellence – clear, technically accurate patent applications tailored to in‑house review and examiner practice.
Modern, cloud‑based systems – secure, paperless workflows that integrate smoothly with client processes.
Selective engagements – we take on matters where our technical fit and experience add real value.
Quality and integrity as primary drivers in every matter, not volume
