New Ventures

Creating and developing a new business venture can be one of the most exciting experiences for individuals and small companies. For me, helping people create something from the ground up is the most gratifying thing about patent law. However, I recognize that making something tangible arise from a raw idea is not without significant effort.

I understand that new ventures need a very different level of assistance. Working with the various levels of business assistance available to Maine residents, I help guide clients to get their head around protecting their intellectual property (IP). Moreover, I understand that patents are not always the answer to a client’s immediate needs, or perhaps not even relevant to their overall IP strategy due to the nature of their new venture. In the end, I believe in giving a client as much information as possible so that they can make more educated business decisions within their new venture…regardless of whether or not it results in a new patent filing for my business venture!
