Patent Prosecution
Novak Druce attorneys, patent agents, technical advisors, and Ph.Ds have significant experience and expertise in mechanical, electrical, and biochemical engineering; consumer electronics; petrochemicals; geology; agriculture; and construction allowing us to better serve our clients.
Our objective is to assist clients in developing and executing strategies that protect their investments. We also assist with broader portfolio issues such as determining where the portfolio needs to be strengthened, which inventions to patent or maintain, and where to apply.
Perhaps most importantly, we maximize the potential of our client's technology by prosecuting patents with a litigation perspective. Our litigation experience provides us with a valuable perspective needed to prosecute a patent more effectively.
Novak Druce also takes patent matters up to the USPTO's Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences. These matters include appeals of an examiner's decision in patent applications, appeals of reexaminations, and interference proceedings.
