Drafting and Prosecuting Patents That Stand Up

From invention disclosure to issued patent

A patent is only as strong as the application behind it. Well-drafted claims can secure broad, enforceable protection for your technology, while a poorly prepared filing may leave gaps that competitors exploit for years. Brodkin Law prepares and prosecutes patent applications for inventors, startups, and technology companies, translating complex engineering into clear, defensible claims that capture the true scope of your innovation.

Our registered practitioners work closely with your technical team to understand exactly how your invention works and what makes it novel. We then craft a specification and claim set designed to withstand examination and to hold up if the patent is ever challenged or asserted.

Provisional and non-provisional strategy

Choosing when and how to file matters. A provisional application can establish an early priority date and buy time to refine your invention, while a well-timed non-provisional filing begins formal examination at the USPTO. We help you decide which path fits your budget and timeline, and we manage the transition between them so no rights are lost along the way.

Our patent filing services include:

• Invention disclosure review and patentability evaluation
• Preparation of provisional and non-provisional applications
• Drafting of specifications, drawings, and independent and dependent claims
• Filing and management before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
• Responding to office actions, rejections, and examiner interviews
• Continuation, divisional, and international (PCT) filing strategy

Guiding you through USPTO prosecution

Filing is the beginning, not the end. Most applications receive one or more office actions from the examiner, and how you respond can determine the scope, and even the survival, of your patent. Our attorneys handle prosecution with a strategic eye, arguing and amending claims to preserve meaningful protection while moving your application efficiently toward allowance. We keep you informed at each step so you always understand the trade-offs involved.
