If your clients were huge multi-national corporations with massive patent portfolios, you’d have your own in-house IP department. Since you don’t, your clients are individuals and small-to-medium-sized businesses that have occasional IP involvement. So you want a practitioner whose approach to IP issues is geared to the needs of clients who are not major players in the IP arena. For such clients, cost and time are important factors. Big pharmaceutical companies are prepared to spend millions over decades in efforts to expand their patent claims to the marginal disadvantage of their competitors. The small inventor does not need, nor can they afford, this type of patent prosecution. They need their patent to issue quickly, at minimal cost, and give them basic protection against “knock-offs” and “work-arounds” of their product. The firm of Thomas J. Germinario has perfected a “stripped-down” patent prosecution methodology specifically geared to the individuals and small-to-medium-sized businesses. Our methods lead to patent issuance is as little as six months. With other IP firms, your clients will see their patent applications become mired in a bewildering morass of procedural maneuvers which may extend patent prosecution over many years and transform their invention into a veritable “money pit”. Tragically, many small inventors are financially overwhelmed by this process and are forced to abandon their inventions before a patent issues.
