Mechanical


Bacon & Thomas views the preparation and prosecution of mechanical patent application as posing significant challenges in navigating through well-established technologies and distinguishing the significance of an invention over other known technologies. Our patent professionals have the expertise required to meet these challenges in acquiring and protecting the patent rights of our clients within the mechanical arts.

Bacon & Thomas routinely engages in patent application (utility and design) preparation, filing, and prosecution before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and routinely works around the world through our network of foreign associates. Our professionals also frequently conduct patentability and due diligence reviews; analyze competitor innovations; and prepare validity, right-to-use, and infringement opinions. We also work closely with you to develop and maintain strategies for maximizing the benefit of a patent portfolio.

Our professionals have a diverse background in these other fields from academic and professional experience. Some members have served in industries related to mechanical fields or have had years of experience as patent examiners at the USPTO evaluating mechanical-related technologies.

Bacon & Thomas strives to serve our domestic and international clientele through direct contact by discussing the various legal and technical issues as well as cost considerations, so that you can make better informed decisions. We make ourselves readily available to assist you and pride ourselves on teaching our clientele the various intricacies of patent law and the underlying technology of the inventive subject matter.
