Patent Prosecution
Securing defensible patents that meet the ever-changing guidelines set by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is the foundation to a comprehensive intellectual property strategy. Inventors, companies of all sizes, and universities seek counsel from MBHB’s patent prosecution attorneys to help them draft, file, and prosecute patent applications. We collaborate with our clients to craft prosecution strategies focused on their business goals and secure patents that cover all aspects of their innovations.
