Patent Lawyers serving Minnesota
Our experienced Minnesota patent attorneys & lawyers represent individuals and businesses throughout the state of Minnesota, United States, and world with domestic and foreign patent application and prosecution matters. They have extensive experience handling patent 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 Minnesota patent lawyers are of the most highly experienced and trained in the patent law 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 patent application process requires that correctly drafted documentation present a clear case for the novelty of the invention, which is best made by using a Minnesota patent attorney with a higher education background and knowledge of your industry.
The Minnesota patent attorneys on UpCounsel 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 types of patents are easier to obtain and are less expensive but you should have a patent lawyer in Minnesota review your provisional patent application to insure that you are meeting your objectives when you file your patent.

Consult on Provisional Patent
"Richard Eldredge proposed to do a patent search, review a patent that I wrote myself, and file the patent. On 4/6 he said the patent would be filed and he would send a receipt of filing. He sent me an invoice, and I paid it. Today is 7/5, three months later. Despite numerous messages on upcounsel asking for the filing receipt, I have still not received one and am becoming suspicious if it was ever filed at all. A call to his office informed me that I had to write to him on upcounsel if I wanted to communicate with him. As of today, I still have not heard from Richard or his firm on the status of the filing of my patent. In his brief correspondence regarding the content of the patent, Richard seemed knowledgeable and experienced in patent law and customs. The administrative follow through and communication of his office is completely unacceptable though and erases any benefit his experience and expertise may bring. I would not use his services again."
