“The firm is incredibly meticulous in their approach; the advice provided is always backed by exhaustive research that goes well beyond standard patent and trademark searches. ”
“William was instrumental in shaping our IP strategy as a startup. … His deep knowledge, clear communication, and strategic approach gave us confidence at every step.”
“William was great from start to finish. He was extremely thorough and professional … He made the entire patent process comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommend.”
“William filed my non-provisional patent, and in under seven months we received a Notice of Allowance with all 26 claims allowed, an incredibly difficult outcome for complex AI and software technology. He took the time to deeply understand the system, and it showed in the result.”
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
IP gaps surface in due diligence, just when a deal is on the clock.
Investors, buyers and licensees look for four gaps:
- A founder, employee, contractor or university that never assigned its rights to the company.
- A deck, demo or white paper shared before anything was filed. In most countries outside the U.S., that can end your patent rights. In the U.S., it starts a one-year clock to file.
- A product name the company can’t register or defend.
- A competitor’s patent that nobody checked before launch.
The $50 screening shows which of these apply to your company and which service to start with.
Your team works directly with a patent attorney who has a graduate science degree.
Large firms often hand IP work to associates, who learn your science on your invoice. This firm is built the other way around.
Your team won’t have to translate the science.
William holds a J.D. from Emory and an M.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Georgetown. The legal work can start on the first call.
The attorney you meet is the attorney who drafts.
No handoff to an associate after the pitch. The caseload is capped on purpose so senior attention is actually available.
Federal and dual-use work is familiar ground.
Background at the DHS Science & Technology Directorate, in U.S. Army contracts and technology transactions, and at Los Alamos. He already knows CRADAs, SBIR/STTR, export control and Stevenson-Wydler.
A fixed fee and a written scope before work starts. If the work takes longer, the extra hours are on the firm.
Your company can buy the same matter three ways. Here is what each one costs you in clarity.
Associate-heavy. Opaque hourly billing.
Your file is staffed down. You pay for someone to learn the science. Scope and cost stay unclear until the invoice arrives.
Fast forms. Thin technical fluency.
A template will not read a specification, an OTA, or a dual-use data-rights clause. Federal and scientific work is out of range.
Senior attention. Fixed fees benchmarked against 80+ firms.
Graduate science training. Federal and dual-use fluency. A written scope and attorney fee before work starts. Official fees at cost, listed separately.
No surprise invoices.
If work within the agreed scope takes extra hours to get right, those hours are on the firm. New claims, extra classes or rush deadlines are priced under the engagement letter.
Selective by design.
Every new client is screened for conflicts and fit, so attorney and client work as one team.
Ownership and filings that hold up in due diligence.
Each filing is planned to hold up under investor review. An ownership review moves rights held by founders, employees, contractors or universities into the company. Raising or selling? An investor-ready IP snapshot shows where the company stands before the data room opens.
Works alongside your other lawyers.
The firm acts as outside IP counsel next to your corporate and fundraising lawyers. It does not handle fundraising itself.
Find your company here, and the service it needs next.
Each path opens the service page for that need. Not sure which fits? The $50 screening sorts it out in 30 minutes.
How Our Fixed-Fee Services Work
Start with a $50 screening for fit and scope. Any further legal work has its own written scope and fee.
Find the right service in a 30-minute screening
Meet by video with a USPTO-registered patent attorney to check for conflicts, discuss your goals and choose the right patent, trademark or technology legal service for your startup or company. The screening covers conflicts, fit and scope only and does not include legal advice, a legal opinion or legal strategy.
Purchase your flat-fee service and receive your Engagement Letter
See the included work, exclusions and attorney fee in writing before you commit, with no hourly billing. USPTO and other official fees are listed separately at cost. Purchase locks in your scope of work. After your payment is received, we send your Engagement Letter based on that scope. Work begins once you sign it.
Send your materials and your patent attorney does the work
Provide the materials listed in your scope, such as source code, drawings, lab data, brand details or contracts. William personally handles your patent search, patent application drafting, trademark filing or technology contract review, with no handoff to an associate.
Receive the deliverables you approved
Get exactly the deliverables listed in your Engagement Letter, from patentability reports to filed patent and trademark applications. Any additional work is scoped and priced separately before it starts.
Six sectors where your team won’t have to explain the science.
Technical fluency makes the legal work faster. Choose your sector to see how the firm works with companies like yours.
What companies ask before booking the $50 screening.
What matters does the firm handle?
Federal IP and related technology matters under the nine services: patents, trademarks, tech and commercial contracts, commercialization and policy, gaming and media, fractional GC, federal and defense transactions, and pre-litigation disputes.
What does the firm not handle?
Texas state-law advice; courtroom litigation — matters are scoped to pre-litigation and then handed off to trial counsel; and general family, criminal, or personal-injury work.
What is market-benchmarked flat-fee legal pricing?
Attorney fees are published against a written scope and set with reference to public competitor ranges and official fees. Official fees are extra, at cost.
Are USPTO and other government fees included?
No, unless a specific engagement card says otherwise. They are billed separately and can change.
What happens if the facts change mid-matter?
The engagement letter and the product’s scope-change triggers control. New claims, extra classes, rush deadlines, or a contested turn reopen the fee.
Does the consultation create an attorney–client relationship?
The paid consultation is limited to that consultation. An ongoing representation starts only after a conflicts check, a signed engagement letter, and any required retainer.
What does the $50 screening include?
A 30-minute video screening for fit, intake, and service selection. It does not include legal advice, an opinion, or legal strategy. The $50 is credited toward legal fees if you retain the firm, excluding official and third-party fees. It is refunded if the firm declines the matter or a conflict prevents acceptance; it is not refunded if you choose not to proceed.
Will you guarantee a patent or trademark will issue?
No. Examining authorities are outside the firm’s control.
Get your IP ready before the next pitch, launch or term sheet.
In a 30-minute video screening, William checks fit and names the service your company needs first. Any legal work after that has its own written scope and fixed fee.
A public demo, post or offer to sell before you file can narrow your options. Book before your next pitch, launch or listing.
