The San Jose U.S. patents lawyers and agents of Schneck & Schneck in downtown San Jose provide patent preparation services and knowledgeable counsel regarding patent applications in a wide variety of technical fields.
Our law firm is AV-rated*, and our patent attorneys offer more than 70 years of collective legal experience. To schedule a consultation with one of our patent attorneys, contact Schneck & Schneck through this Web site or by phone at 408/297-9733.
We have particular experience obtaining and evaluating U.S. patents for semiconductors, electronics, optics, scientific instruments, medical devices, manufacturing tools, mechanical devices, biotechnology, telecommunications, Internet-related technologies, and software.
We begin the patent process with a thorough novelty search, using online databases of U.S. and foreign patents, published patent applications, and nonpatent technical literature. Upon completion of a novelty search, we provide our clients with a detailed search report. This patent search report yields valuable information that will guide the decision on how best to proceed.
Working closely with the inventor or inventors, our U.S. patent lawyers and patent agents draft and file U.S. patent applications in a timely manner.
Once a patent application is filed, Schneck & Schneck keeps clients informed of the status of the application during prosecution. We handle all relevant responses required by the Patent and Trademark Offices (PTO).
The time frame for the U.S. patent application process from filing to the grant of a patent is typically two years or longer.
In addition to filing patent applications, we are often called upon to evaluate the validity and enforceability of patents, ascertain whether existing products and services infringe patent rights, and advise on how to develop products to avoid infringement.
