Do I Require a Local New Jersey Patent Attorney?

Pick the Ideal Patent Attorney for YOU:
One That Prioritizes Innovators, Startups, and also Small Companies

Since Patent Law is based upon Federal Law, businesses and inventors in New Jersey can hire any US Patent Attorney, regardless of where the Patent Attorney completes the job. Additionally, since Patent Attorneys have a large range of specializations and capabilities, it makes good sense to look outside your local area in New Jersey to search for the ideal fit. Given that locally found Patent Attorneys in New Jersey are normally specialized to serve the bigger businesses in your area, people and small-sized companies in New Jersey oftentimes do not receive the best professional service from a local New Jersey Patent Attorney.

By comparison, our Patent Attorneys help people, entrepreneurs, startups, and also smaller companies across the country, offering services more personalized and customized to the needs of smaller sized clients than typically offered by a Patent Attorney in New Jersey. Rather than maintain a network of local offices, which would add considerable overhead, we are extremely skilled at working remotely with customers throughout New Jersey, applying technology to improve communication and be more reachable than a Patent Attorney in New Jersey.

Patent Attorneys are Federally Licensed — You’re Not Restricted to Just New Jersey Patent Attorneys

All Patent Attorneys need to pass the United States Patent Bar Examination. Actually, when preparing a Patent Application, State Law is not involved. Only knowledge and experience applying the Federal Patent Laws, Rules, and Regulations relating to Patent Preparation are needed to draft a successful Patent Application. A Patent Attorney from any USA State can prepare Patent Applications for New Jersey inventors and New Jersey companies.

Critical Patent Attorney Shortage Will Make it Harder to Find One

Critical Patent Attorney Shortage Will Make it Harder to Find One

The number of Patent Attorneys is rapidly declining, at the same time as demand for patents is rising. From 2008 to 2018, the number of new Patent Attorneys fell by 50%. From 2009 to 2015, the number of Patent Applications increased by 30% and the number of issued US Patents increased 70%.

Patent Attorneys account for more than 15% of law firm job openings while representing less than 2% of all lawyers in the U.S. As more of the already dwindling supply of Patent Attorneys are hired by big law firms and by large corporations and universities as in-house Patent Attorneys, there are fewer and fewer available to work with individual inventors and small companies.

Business Method Patents

Business Method Patents

Business methods originally could not be patented at all, but now are considered on almost the same basis as any other type of invention. Business method patents provide businesses with a valuable legal strategy to protect new business processes and methods, thus conferring considerable competitive advantage. For example, Amazon ultimately prevailed against Barnes & Noble for infringing on its “1-Click shopping” business method patent.
