After a patent application is filed, the process of patent prosecution begins. Patent prosecution involves responding to Office Actions issued by the United State Patent and Trademark Office to carve out the monopoly rights you deserve. From the start, we apprise the Examiner about your patent application and negotiate amendments to claims with little prosecution history. When we have to, we appeal your matter before the PTAB to defend the scope of the claims in view of the cited art or Examiner’s legal position.
