We take pride in tailoring our approach to fit your unique business needs, ensuring that your patent portfolio supports your broader business strategy and long-term objectives.

Protecting your Inventions

At the core of our patent practice is a deep understanding of the importance of a strong patent application and prosecution process. Our attorneys recognize that securing patent protection is not just about the legal filing but about helping our clients navigate the complexities of technological innovation, competitive advantage, and commercial success.
We understand that each client’s goals are unique, which is why we invest time in understanding your business and the technology behind your invention. This insight allows us to provide tailored advice and recommend the best strategy for your specific business needs, whether you are seeking to protect a single innovation or building a comprehensive patent portfolio.

Patent Services We Offer

At Bay State IP, our team provides a range of services to support your patent application and prosecution needs:

Invention Disclosure Process

We work with clients through the invention disclosure process to help identify the key inventive matter and differentiate between abstract concepts and truly patentable innovations. Our attorneys ensure that your invention is clearly defined and set up for successful protection.

Patentability Searches

Before moving forward with a patent application, we offer patentability searches to determine the most relevant prior art. This helps evaluate whether your invention is novel and non-obvious, giving you a clear picture of the likelihood of patent approval and helping inform your next steps.

Preparation and Drafting of Patent Applications

Our team handles the preparation and drafting of U.S. Provisional, Utility, and Design patent applications, ensuring that your application meets the highest standards and is tailored to your specific invention. We work closely with you to draft clear, robust claims that will protect your intellectual property and stand up to scrutiny by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

International Patent Protection

With a strong network of trusted foreign associates, we help clients expand their patent protection internationally. Whether you are looking to file patent applications in Europe, Asia, or other global markets, we assist in preparing and filing patent applications outside of the United States, ensuring your innovations are protected worldwide.

Patent Proceedings

Our team also provides representation in a variety of specialized patent proceedings, including Reissue, Ex Parte and 3rd Party Reexamination and Inter-parties review proceedings. If you need to resolve conflicts with other patent applications, challenge the scope of existing patents, or amend your granted patent, we are here to guide you through the process.
