Infringement and Patent Prosecution

Patent prosecution is a process of acquiring patents. Our DuPage County patent prosecution attorneys will write the patent document and submit it to the USPTO. If necessary, we can also file for patent protection outside the U.S. through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) process. Our firm has extensive experience in this complex area of law and can provide counsel, guidance and advocacy focused on securing your rights and investments.
