Dedicated to Strengthening a Company’s Future
Sophia knows that patent protection is part of a powerful business strategy. Not only is having your intellectual property protected an effective marketing tool, it also helps companies exclude others from the marketplace and differentiate themselves from competitors that don’t have protection on their IP. That’s why Sophia strives to provide clients with the most efficient strategies to safeguard their assets and help them remain competitive in the marketplace.
Before formulating a patent strategy, it’s essential for clients to know their options and the appropriate steps to take. Sophia learns about each client’s unique innovations, ideas, and long-term objectives. After meeting with clients, she conducts in-depth research to identify already-existing patents. This enables her clients to avoid infringement and determine how to design around existing solutions.
Sophia performs many tasks to provide her clients with the best path forward. Her duties include responding to office actions, communicating with the USPTO, conducting patentability searches, and drafting patent applications. All of her efforts focus on crafting a comprehensive strategy that encompasses all aspects of a client’s innovation and strengthens their business future.
