What makes AI-powered patent prosecution different?
AI-native prosecution uses proprietary machine learning tools built in-house to automate prior art analysis, examiner profiling, IDS preparation, and prosecution strategy optimization. This reduces costs by 40–60% while improving quality and accelerating time to allowance. Our automated IDS service is just $250 per filing window.
What is Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis?
FTO analysis determines whether a product can be commercialized without infringing existing patents. We use AI-powered search and claim comparison to deliver thorough clearance opinions faster and at lower cost than traditional methods. FTO is critical before product launches, M&A due diligence, and investor IP diligence.
What security certifications does the firm have?
We maintain an ISO 27001 compliant Information Security Management System (ISMS), use end-to-end encryption for all client communications, and build all AI tools in-house to prevent third-party data exposure. We conduct regular security audits and offer a secure client portal with role-based access controls.
Do you handle international patent and trademark filings?
Yes. For patents: PCT National Stage entry, Paris Convention filings, and foreign filing coordination. For trademarks: Madrid Protocol extensions ($1,500), Section 44(e) applications ($1,500), and international trademark searches ($1,000 per jurisdiction). We serve both US companies filing internationally and foreign companies entering the US IP system.
