Domestic Patents and Trademark

Gazdzinski & Associates understands the often critical role that domestic intellectual property can play for our clients. Accordingly, we strive to give each patent and trademark application highly personalized attention, which considers all relevant aspects of the client's business. In order to provide the best and most legally defensible product, the firm also constantly educates it members on new developments, case law, and regulations in the field.

In addition to preparing applications, the firm also provides a spectrum of patentability and trademark searching capability, both in-house and from outside search firms.  Such searches range from domestic to international in scope, depending on the client's needs.

To help control costs during prosecution, the firm utilizes non-attorney patent agents or engineers  where possible to draft patent applications under the supervision of a registered attorney. We also use our staff personnel to the maximum extent practicable to perform related support functions such as quality assurance of applications, and non-critical interface with counterpart Patent Office personnel. In certain instances, we also advise conducting a personal interview with the relevant Patent Examiner in Washington, D.C., which can streamline prosecution.

The firm is also capable of electronically filing patent and trademark applications with the United States Patent & Trademark Office in accordance with Electronic Filing System (EFS) requirements.
