A patent strategy aligned with your product and your round.
Our company engaged with American Patent Agency on a tight timeline to receive patents for our next round of financing. The team at APA was quick to understand our technology, and the patent was issued in an incredibly short three-month time period!
I engaged with American Patent Agency to take over a large patent portfolio for Mixbook. It was one of the best decisions we've made at the company. Dan and his team want to see you get quality patents.
We hired APA after evaluating several firms in the San Francisco Bay area. In addition to being the most technically competent, they achieved impressive results within a very short time period.
Dan studied Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at MIT, earned his Master's at Carnegie Mellon and studied IP law at Harvard Law School. He worked with NASA and Siemens, founded American Patent Agency, and wrote patents for companies like Loom, Mixbook and Prediction.io. He lives in Puerto Rico.
No hand-offs. The person on your first call is the person who writes your patent.
Puerto Rico uses the U.S. patent system, so you file with the USPTO. The usual path: a strategy call, a prior art search, a provisional application to lock in your date, and a full application within 12 months. Dan handles every step, in English or Spanish.
Yes. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, and patents issued by the USPTO are valid here just as in the 50 states.
A faster first filing that secures your priority date and lets you use “Patent Pending” for 12 months. Within that year you decide whether to file the full (non-provisional) application. If you don't, the provisional is abandoned and its contents are never published.
On the standard track, USPTO examination can take years. With the Track One prioritized examination program, Dan's clients have had patents issued in as little as 2 to 4 months. On the first call he tells you which route fits.
Yes, when the invention solves a technical problem in a concrete way and the application is drafted well. It's exactly Dan's specialty: AI, blockchain, robotics and related technologies.
A PCT international application lets you seek protection in 150+ countries. Dan works with partner firms in Canada (Riches, McKenzie & Herbert) and Europe (FR Kelly).
Yes. Calls and explanations in Spanish or English, your choice. Filings with the USPTO are in English, as the office requires.
It depends on scope: application type, technical complexity and number of patents. On the first call Dan gives you a clear estimate before any work starts.
Yes. Dan takes over cases filed by other firms — as he did with Mixbook's portfolio — and carries them through to issuance.
