My Services
As a registered U.S. Patent Agent and former USPTO Patent Examiner (with 4+ years in robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous systems, machine learning, and mechanical technologies), I offer flexible hourly billing at $95/hour or predictable fixed-rate packages. My experience at the USPTO helps clients draft strategically structured applications that anticipate examination issues and improve prosecution efficiency. I regularly prepare and electronically file U.S. patent applications through USPTO Patent Center.
Patentability / Novelty Searches
Before filing a patent application, it is important to understand whether similar inventions already exist.
I conduct comprehensive prior art searches across U.S. and international patent databases to identify the closest existing technology.
Patentability / Novelty Searches
Typical project cost: $500– $1000
Deliverables include:
• Identification of the most relevant patents
• Direct links to references
• Short similarity summaries
• CPC classification analysis
Provisional Patent Application Support
I assist inventors and companies in preparing strong provisional applications that clearly describe the invention.
Services include:
Technical content development
Specification drafting assistance
Structuring disclosure for §112 support
Figure-to-specification correlation
A well-prepared provisional application establishes a strong priority foundation for future patent filings.
Provisional Patent Applications
Typical project cost: $2,000 – $3,000
Includes:
• Technical invention description
• Written specification
• Figure integration
• Filing preparation
Non-Provisional Patent Applications
I assist clients in preparing and filing full non-provisional patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Services include:
• Drafting patent specifications and claims
• Preparing formal application documents
• Coordinating drawings and figures
• Filing applications with the USPTO
My goal is to draft clear and strategically structured applications that support strong patent protection during examination.
Non-Provisional Patent Applications
Typical project cost: $5,000 – $10,000
Includes:
• Specification drafting
• Claim drafting
• Formal application preparation
• USPTO filing
Office Action Responses
After a patent application is filed, the USPTO reviews it and may issue office actions raising rejections or objections.
I assist with responding to these office actions and guiding applications through the examination process.
Services include:
• Analysis of examiner rejections
• Preparation of office action responses
• Claim amendments and argument development
• Interview preparation with patent examiners
Typical project cost: $1,200 – $2,500
Includes:
• Prior art analysis
• Claim amendment strategy
• Office action response drafting
• Examiner interview preparation
Prior Art Analysis & Claim Review
I analyze existing patents and cited references to help determine how they may impact patentability.
This service can assist with:
Evaluating examiner rejections
Understanding cited references
Identifying distinguishing features of an invention
Strategic responses to prior art
Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) Research
Freedom-to-operate analysis helps companies determine whether a product may risk infringing existing patents.
I assist with:
Identifying potentially relevant patents
Technical comparison between products and patent claims
Early-stage infringement risk analysis
This service is commonly used by startups and product development teams before launch. This analysis is intended to identify potentially relevant patents and assist in evaluating infringement risk. It is not a formal legal opinion unless specifically agreed upon.
Freedom-to-Operate Analysis
Typical project cost: $1,500 – $4,000
Includes:
• Patent landscape search
• Claim comparison analysis
• Risk overview
Patent Strategy Consulting
I provide technical interpretation and analysis of patent claims to clarify the scope of an invention.
This can help with:
Patent portfolio evaluation
Technology due diligence
Litigation preparation support
Technical Areas of Expertise
My background includes experience examining and analyzing patents in advanced technology areas, including:
Robotics and autonomous systems
Sensor fusion and machine perception
AI / machine learning systems
Autonomous vehicle navigation and control
CAD and mechanical systems
Tools & Databases
Patent searches are conducted using professional databases including:
USPTO Public Search
Google Patents
Espacenet (EPO)
The Lens
CPC classification systems
