Patent Lawyer Queens, NY

Patents are granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This government entity investigates patent applications and, if approved, gives the exclusive right to make, sell, and use a creation to an inventor. There are three types of patents:

• Utility – functional inventions, like machines, technology, and processes
• Design – the appearance of an invention
• Plant – new varieties of plants

The process to secure a patent is complicated. It requires exhaustive research, advanced technical acumen, and highly detailed paperwork. To be approved, there must be clear evidence that the creation is new, useful, and non-obvious (not a predictable improvement or easily made with existing technology). Consulting with our Queens patent lawyer is essential for evaluating the eligibility of your creation for a patent and efficiently working through the multi-step application process.​

It takes years to secure a patent. While waiting for approval, your creation will be labeled as ‘patent pending’. It is common for a patent examiner with the USPTO to request additional actions. This back and forth can greatly delay the process and add complications. Managing attorney Emmanuel Coffy is a licensed patent attorney and former patent examiner. His unique insights aid in expediting the path to approval by avoiding mistakes and delays.

For example, our firm obtained U.S. Patent No. 10,305,849 for our client in under three years without any examiner’s office action. The patent was issued outright without any USPTO actions, an accomplishment that is unheard of in intellectual property law.

Why Experience Matters in Patent Cases

After obtaining a patent, the next step is enforcement. If an individual or business uses, sells, or makes your creation without a signed licensing agreement, you can hold them accountable through civil litigation. Our trial attorneys will build compelling arguments and advocate for the full recovery of damages.
