M&B IP utilizes compact prosecution tactics which allow us to reduce legal fees without sacrificing claim quality, with a proven record of accomplishment exceeding the average USPTO allowance rate.
Our core competency is obtaining a deep understanding of the industries and technologies that we leverage to identify the core innovation for patent purposes, which enables us to accurately summarize key features effectively and efficiently.
Efficient and Successful Patent Prosecution
Any patent application drafted by M&B IP begins with an in-depth discussion with the inventors and businesspeople at your company. The primary goal is to understand both the technical and commercialization aspects of the invention while providing insight on the inventive features and further potential of the patent.
We don’t require inventors to write disclosures, but instead we focus and create our drafts based on inventor interviews. This relieves the burden of drafting from inventors to save time and let them focus on their technology while still being able to review drafts and incorporate important feedback.
When drafting patents, we concentrate on meaningful and enforceable claims to be as sound as possible at a minimum cost to our clear. Our in-depth technical knowledge reduces the possibility of application rejections and guides applications through the process smoothly. We are in frequent communication with USPTO Examiners to accelerate allowances, distinguish the patentable claims, and respond to rejections with data while taking previous rejections, similar case, examiner history and more into account.
