Strategic Guidance in Patent Prosecution

From garage inventors to established national and multinational corporations, our intellectual property lawyers have prosecuted domestic and foreign patents on behalf of hundreds of clients. We provide high-quality and cost-effective representation to protect your innovation.

Our patent attorneys offer sound legal advice throughout the process of obtaining patent protection and can guide you in making the truly important decisions:

  • How many patents should I seek? What type and how broad a scope?
  • How do I protect my invention while the patent is pending?
  • Do I really need a patent, or is there an alternative that would better serve my interests?
  • How should I respond or appeal if my patent is denied?

K&M also has substantial experience in obtaining the desired result in the patent appeals process and in seeking alternative methods for protecting your intellectual property rights quickly, thoroughly and efficiently. Call 801-994-4646 for more information and to discuss your situation in detail.

Invention Protection: To Patent or Not To Patent?

In the case of any new invention, a patent is the default choice for protecting the intellectual property rights of the inventor. K&M is an established firm you can rely on to efficiently prosecute a patent on your new product or invention and to help ensure that your rights are protected while the patent is pending.

But we take our service to you one step further. We can help you evaluate the alternatives for protecting your invention. Remember, non-provisional utility patents generally grant you exclusive rights for only 20 years. In certain situations, we can help you develop a strategy to protect your competitive advantage in perpetuity through trade secrets law.

In either case, we offer intelligent legal advice and innovative intellectual asset protection and management strategies that can help to protect you in the near term and maximize the long term profit potential of your invention.

To discuss your immediate objectives and future prospects with an experienced U.S. domestic and foreign patent attorney, please call KNMT at 801-994-4646. You may also send an e-mail inquiry now for a timely response.
