POST GRANT PROCEEDINGS

With the right legal representation, you can rest well knowing you’re in good hands

Protecting your IP is not always a one-stop process, and when you need legal counsel and representation to ensure the validity of your granted IP, Superior IP can help. We can challenge a competitor’s patent as well as protect you against these types of challenges through: Inter Partes Review, Ex Parte Reexamination, Post-Grant Review, and Covered Business Methods.

Our fast-paced, economically-driven world has created opportunities for change to existing intellectual property laws, one of which has been the America Invents Act (AIA), enacted in 2011. This overhauled the patent laws and how we deal with filing, review, and disputes regarding issued patents. The United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) handles the formal processes of obtaining IP protection for patents and trademarks, as well as regular reviews, appeals, and other issues. The Patent Trial & Appeals Board (PTAB) oversees what are known as “inter partes” reviews and post-grant reviews for patent petitioners, and when you’re involved in these proceedings, it’s important that you hire an experienced intellectual property attorney.

Since these laws are complex and can change over time, knowing the ins and outs of the patent process is unrealistic for the average creative professional. A good patent grant review law firm will be able to guide you through the proper steps in order to defend your patent or challenge a competitor’s patent. Attention to detail and aggressive filing strategies can put you ahead of the competition, and with the right legal representation, you can rest well knowing you’re in good hands, in and out of the courtroom.

When you need expert advice on your intellectual property, your current or pending patents, or upcoming patent appeals or reviews, reach out to us at Superior IP. Prior to beginning any work, we offer a free consultation where we review your situation and help you determine the best path forward. We then provide you with an estimate that includes the total cost of the services you need.

Testimonials

I and my co-inventors have enjoyed working with Dustin on our invention for high throughput detection of gene mutations. The invention involves many complex molecular reactions that most people would have difficulty understanding well. To our surprise, Dustin is so smart and knowledgeable that he revised our original application and helped us obtain two US patents successfully. He does not seem to be content with the success though. Reviewing the comments of the examiner, he advises us to broaden the protection of our patents. The suggestion made me and my co-inventors re-evaluate our invention. As a result, we discovered that there are many more applications that we may pursue further. Owing to new modifications and developments, we have elevated our invention to a new level. Consequently, we have submitted two more continuation applications for the broader protection of our patents. It has been an enjoyable experience to work with Dustin. I and my co-inventors really appreciate it.

In working on our patent applications it was clear that Dustin not only knows how to help write a strong patent, but his extensive experience in dealing with the USPTO enabled him to guide us in ways that maximized our chance to getting protection for our IP.

My experience in the process of getting a patent was not only stressful but hair pulling as well. I finally was told by a gentleman who has many patents to his own credit to stay away from the large firms and seek out an Individual patent attorney who works for himself and I would receive the attention I was going to require at a price I could afford. Then I came across Dustin Call's web page, picked up the phone made my call and he answered it. Dustin gave me about twenty minutes of his time and answered all my questions which made me feel really comfortable. The part I was most happy and impressed with was the ability Dustin has to speak in English instead of attorney language. Do not get me wrong he definitely talks attorney which became evident when he sent me a copy of my application and I had to step back after reading it and say to myself, is this my invention he is talking about. Dustin has a job that I could never do and believe me I tried. Dustin answered every question, returned every call and was amazingly professional to work with. I could go on and on. I have referred Dustin to a couple of other inventors I have met and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a patent attorney, trust me he is the guy you are looking for.

Dustin provides very good patent prosecution services at very reasonable rates. I have worked with many patent attorneys over the past twenty five years and I highly recommend Dustin Call. He is very responsive, does good work, knows how to deal with the USPTO, and his rates are reasonable.
