Board Certified Expertise
John Rizvi is one of the few attorneys to achieve Board Certification in Intellectual Property Law, a distinction held by a small percentage of lawyers. The firm specializes in:
- Patent Protection: guiding inventors through the rigorous patent application process, from utility patents for new machines to design patents for unique aesthetics.
- Trademark Registration: Securing brand names, logos, and slogans to prevent competitors from capitalizing on a business’s reputation.
- The "Patent Professor" Method: utilizing a structured approach to IP protection that emphasizes transparency and flat-fee pricing, avoiding the uncertainty of hourly billing.
Accessible and Inventor-Focused
The firm understands the challenges faced by solo inventors and small startups. They offer flat-fee packages for patent searches and applications, ensuring that clients know exactly what to expect financially. With a presence in Portland’s Sixth + Main Center, the firm provides a local touchpoint for Oregon innovators while leveraging the resources of a dedicated national practice.
