What processes do we have in place to ensure quality and timeliness of patent work products?

Internal/external training to the patent drafting team

We are of the mind that ‘drafting’ is best learned by ‘apprenticeship.’ The drafting team continues to be monitored/mentored by senior US counsels on our team.

Client training

We provide training as per client’s request. The most common training for clients entails: (i) training scientists and engineers on innovation and patent protection in typical development/design organizations; (ii) undertaking brainstorming sessions regarding inventions; and (iii) teaching the legal principles on bar dates, subject matter eligibility, when to start the process, the nature of the claims, disclosure requirements, etc. in context of the patent laws in India and the US.

Quality Control

We offer quality checks by senior US counsels, each with more than 20 years of US patent law experience, at every step of any patent project, whether it is patent search, patent drafting and prosecution, opinion preparation, or litigation support. The repeat work from our clients is the best objective indication of our superior quality.

Harvesting Ideas – what is our model for inventor interviews?

For specific cases assigned to us for drafting, we conduct in-person or video interviews. Typically, we use an audio/video recorder as well as detailed information supplied by the inventor on an invention disclosure form. We normally work with the inventors immediately to secure all the required information for the meeting and beyond. We then compile a first draft almost ready for filing, typically requiring merely one round of review.

For general harvesting of ideas, we conduct a face-to-face brainstorming session with inventors. We review any written material in the targeted technology space and interview the inventors to harvest inventions for patenting. We document the potential inventions in detailed invention disclosures and work with the client management to narrow down or combine the inventions for patenting.
