Legal Services Offered by Our On-Demand Sacramento Patent Attorneys
Our experienced Sacramento 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 Sacramento 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."
