Non-Provisional Patent Applications

Non-provisional applications are distinguishable from provisional applications in that they are routed to a patent examiner for examination on the merits.  The firm focuses primarily on preparing and filing U.S. patent applications before the USPTO. Representation after filing, including Office Actions, amendments, appeals, continuations, or other prosecution work, is not included unless separately agreed in writing.
