Their goal is to help you turn your bold ideas into protected assets that can drive business growth.
Full-Service IP Protection
The firm specializes exclusively in intellectual property law, ensuring deep expertise in every matter they handle. Their primary services include:
- Patent Search: Conducting comprehensive searches to determine if your invention is unique and patentable before you invest in filing.
- Provisional Patents: Filing affordable, early-stage applications to secure a ‘priority date’ while you refine your invention.
- Non-Provisional Patents: Drafting detailed utility and design patent applications that provide strong legal protection.
- Trademark Services: Helping businesses choose and register distinctive brand names and logos.
- Office Action Responses: skilfully arguing against rejections from USPTO examiners to get your patent granted.
Bold Patents operates with a fully remote and digital-first model, which allows them to serve clients efficiently without the overhead of expensive physical offices. This approach translates into competitive, flat-fee pricing that gives clients peace of mind. If you need to find a lawyer who uses the latest technology to streamline the legal process, Bold Patents is a perfect fit.
Education-First Philosophy
What truly sets Bold Patents apart is their commitment to education. They provide a wealth of free resources, including the book ‘Bold Ideas: The Inventor’s Guide to Patents,’ to help clients understand the journey ahead. They offer free discovery calls to assess your needs and determine if you are ready to move forward. When you order a lawyer from Bold Patents, you are hiring a team that wants you to succeed as an entrepreneur, not just a patent holder.
