• Submission of the patent application to the USPTO for examiner review
• Approval or denial of the patent (with explanation of reasons for denial) by the patent examiner

Exhaustive preparation of your patent application

Our desire for your product to be successful and long-lasting underscores our hard work of exhaustively examining patentability.

• What technical difficulties did you resolve to make the invention work?
• Are you aware of prior patents or inventions similar to yours?
