We maintain a worldwide network of associate counselors specializing in each area of technological concern for each client. We utilize our associates to help our clients achieve faster and more favorable allowances around the world. In many instances, prior to actual filing outside of the U.S., we review the invention with our respective associate for guidance as to eventual allowance, thus often shortening the prosecution time of the client’s application in that country, thus further resulting in less costs to the client for what may otherwise be a lengthy and extremely costly prosecution. This dual expertise has proven time and again to be of the utmost value to many of our clients, both financially and strategically.
