This certification represents the highest level of competency and experience. Although based in Florida, the firm maintains a presence in Omaha to serve clients throughout the Midwest. Their expertise covers:
- Patent Protection: conducting rigorous patent searches and filing utility, design, and plant patents to prevent others from stealing your invention.

- Copyrights: Protecting original works of authorship, from software to artistic creations.
- Trade Secrets: advising on how to keep confidential business information secure.
The Patent Professor®
John Rizvi is not just a practitioner; he is an educator. As an adjunct professor of law for over nearly two decades, he has taught patent law to other attorneys and students. This academic background ensures that his firm stays on the cutting edge of legal developments. He is the author of best-selling books on patent protection and is a frequent contributor to legal journals. The firm’s philosophy is that every inventor deserves a champion who can explain the process in plain English, avoiding the confusing ”legalese” that often alienates clients. If you need to order a lawyer to conduct a patent search or respond to an office action, you can trust their deep technical knowledge.
From Idea to Asset
The firm understands that a patent is not just a piece of paper; it is a business asset. They work with clients to maximize the commercial potential of their intellectual property. With a flat-fee billing structure for many services, they eliminate the uncertainty of hourly billing, allowing inventors to budget effectively.
