“As the avenues of commerce expand exponentially, patent protection and federal trademark protection are more important than ever. The inventions, ideas, concepts, creative works, and marks of small businesses and individuals continue to be mined and pirated without proper recognition and compensation. Stemming that tide is the primary mission of our firm.”
- Leslie A. Thompson,
IP presentation at Morehouse College Entrepreneurship Center, November 2007

Our services include confidential and comprehensive patent research of the relevant domestic and foreign prior art databases available at the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
