Services

What we are built to do.

Four practices, one team. Fixed fees agreed before a matter opens.

Patent Prosecution

Claims written to survive licensing and litigation, not just allowance.

Office Actions & Interviews

An examiner interview on every response. No exceptions, no extra charge.

Portfolio Strategy

Continuations, foreign filings, and pruning decisions tied directly to your product roadmap and competitive posture.

Post-Grant & Appeals

PTAB appeals and post‑grant defense argued by the same people who wrote the file.

Why PatentPC

A patent department is evaluated on one metric.

How reliably it converts R&D into a defensible moat and revenue.

Everything we do is built around that outcome — from the first disclosure, not the first office action. Our drafting, interviewing, and reporting protocols are designed to eliminate surprises, reduce internal load, and produce patents that withstand diligence, licensing, and challenge.

Meet the people who do the work

What we design around

The pressures you actually live with.

Invisible wins, visible mistakes. We work to the scoreboard you are held to.

Defensibility

Will it survive PTAB, litigation and M&A diligence? Our drafting protocol is built to answer yes.

Predictability

Deadlines and budgets you can safely promise to your CEO and to R&D.

CEO optics

Work product and reporting that leave you prepared and in control, never blindsided.

Operational load

Counsel that removes work from your desk instead of creating escalations and meetings.

Our people

Engineers who became patent lawyers.

Every practitioner holds an advanced technical degree and reads your file before it is staffed. We stay small by design so you always know exactly who is on your matter — and who is accountable.

Full team, degrees and registration numbers

  • 100% Advanced technical degrees
  • 20 Median years in practice
  • 1,828 Patents obtained

Our conviction

We interview the examiner on every office action. Fewer than one firm in three does.

97% allowance with an interview, 78% without, after a single office action.

Client feedback

“They sent us our own interview gap before they ever sent a rate card.”

JK Kim, GC of MicroNOC Inc.

“The difference is that I stop managing the firm. I get the interview summary before I have to ask for it, and the docket confirmation lands in my system the same week. My reporting upward got shorter.”

Alexandre M. — Senior Patent Counsel, publicly traded medical device company

“They sent us our own interview gap before they ever sent a rate card. That is the only pitch I have taken in five years that started with our data instead of their credentials.”

William T. — Director of Intellectual Property, enterprise software company
