Legal Services Offered by Our On-Demand Eureka Patent Attorneys
Our experienced Eureka patent attorneys & lawyers represent individuals and businesses throughout the world with domestic and foreign patent preparation and prosecution matters. They have extensive experience handling applications from nearly every sector of technology, including biotechnology, computer hardware and software, communication networks, internet systems and methods, automotive, medical equipment, construction technology, consumer electronics, and clean technology research and development.
Our patent attorneys are of the most highly trained in the industry, requiring a scientific background, and passing a second level of testing known as the Patent Bar Examination. Thousands of patents are submitted to the patent office every day and a patent committee reviews each patent for its validity. The process requires that correctly drafted documentation present a clear case for the novelty of the invention, which is best made by a patent attorney with a higher education background in your industry.
Our Eureka patent attorneys & lawyers can help you file a provisional patent, which lasts for 1-year and allows you to immediately begin using/manufacturing your invention with the confidence that your idea is protected. These types of patents are great if you think your idea will change a lot over the next year before you file a (non-provisional) patent. These patents are easier to obtain and are less expensive but you should have a patent lawyer review your provisional patent application to insure that you are meeting your objectives when you file your patent.

"Attorney Alton Hare has great experience in IP matters. I spoke to about 7 attorneys prior to speaking to him, these other attorneys did not meet my expectations.

File Utility Patent
"Put simply, Mike was awesome. He was great about communicating with me and responding quickly. Furthermore, he did this as a way to work with me, not just for me. The experience of drafting and filing a non-provisional patent was very collaborative, with a lot of feedback freely flowing both ways to craft something of very high quality and satisfaction. He really put effort into understanding exactly what it was I was working on, what my vision was, and how to properly materialize and execute upon those things. All of this was especially impressive given the short period of time within which we had to work to meet the conversion deadline from the provisional, and Mike was great about making sure we kept on track. He was also very good about explaining the process, as well as all the procedures, requirements, pros/cons, strategies, and expectations involved, removing any uncertainties I had, educating me as much as possible. I would recommend Mike to anyone seeking legal services for their business. And while I can only personally vouch for his patent services, I'm sure he extends his work ethic, collaborativeness, and quality to whatever services he may offer."

What Is a Patent Infringement Case?
Patent infringement cases result when a patent owner, or any entity who holds sufficient interest in a U.S. patent, files legal action against someone they claim is using the patented creation without permission.
Your defenses in a patent infringement case can include:

- Citing prior use, first sale or repair doctrines, inequitable conduct, patent misuse, or limitation on rights

What Is the Patent Pending Process?
The patent pending process means you've filed a patent application that's now pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The office is also called the U.S. Patent Office or the USPTO. Another term for your invention is intellectual property.
Getting funds for an invention requires talking about it. But many inventors don't want to discuss their invention because they may lose patent rights to it, or someone might steal their idea. In the U.S., you have one year to file a patent application after you first publicly discuss the invention. That's why many inventors quickly file a utility patent application. Once you file an application, your invention is in the patent pending process.
When an invention is patent pending, the USPTO has neither granted the patent to the applicant nor has it listed it as abando

What is Analogous Art?
Analogous art refers to a method of criteria that patent reviewers and courts use to determine whether an idea is too similar to another invention and therefore qualifies as prior art. When looking at a patent application, the reviewer will determine whether the idea is novel and non-obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the claimed field of endeavor.
Some ideas and inventions are so diverse or remote that a person of unordinary skill would be highly unlikely to understand them. If the idea or art is this unique and diverse, it is often referred to as non-analogous and doesn't qualify under the prior art requirement of patent review. However, analogous art that is too similar to another invention or idea will likely not qualify for patent protection.
The analogous art test is very specific. Art is considered analogous when:
- It is reasonably similar to the problem that the inventor faced; or
