Based in the tech-forward startup hub of Boulder, Colorado, the firm is founded and led by Michael Priddy, a registered patent agent who brings sixteen years of dedicated intellectual property experience.

Comprehensive Patent Protection and Portfolio Strategies

At MP Patents, LLC, the focus is placed exclusively on obtaining patent protection. Unlike general practice attorneys who handle a broad array of courtroom matters, patent agents specialize entirely in the technical and administrative aspects of patent preparation and prosecution. Practice fields served by the Boulder office include:

• Patent preparation and drafting: Translating complex ideas and engineering schematics into ironclad utility and design patent applications.
• Patent prosecution: Formulating strategic, persuasive arguments to respond to USPTO examiner rejections and office actions.
• Provisional and non-provisional patents: Structuring early-stage filings to establish patent pending status, followed by comprehensive utility applications.
• Strategic consulting: Assessing your competitor's portfolio and determining the optimal patent strategies to maximize your invention's commercial value.
• Prior art and patentability searches: Performing rigorous searches of technical databases to validate the novelty and patentability of your invention before filing.

Technical Mastery in Medical Devices and Diverse Industries

Drafting an enforceable patent requires both legal precision and deep technical comprehension. Michael Priddy holds a dual academic background, including a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Science and Mechanics from Virginia Tech, focusing on biomedical engineering, and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Metropolitan State University of Denver. This dual technical expertise allows MP Patents, LLC to specialize heavily in medical device patents, where small design differences carry major clinical and commercial impact.
