Six compelling reasons to make Michael E. Woods YourPatentGuy

1. Cut to the chase

When you hire Michael E. Woods, you get Michael E. Woods. Since he is a solo practitioner, you'll always have his full attention. During his 18 years as a registered patent attorney, Michael has been a partner in two prestigious national law firms. An inventor himself, he has successfully patented and licensed his clients', his company's, and his own technology. In addition, he has assisted in the enforcement of the resulting patents.

2. Time is of the essence

The applications Michael writes for clients are filed without delay, crafted today with the future in mind.

3. Exploitation is everything

Michael's patent applications are written with an eye toward exploitation of the invention, based on his significant experience in the areas of post-issuance proceedings, including manufacturing, litigation, and licensing.

4. He's in it for the long haul

Michael believes in long-term relationships with clients. After filing the application, he will follow through with patent prosecution, handle related applications and address any issues that may arise concerning enforcement, possible litigation and licensing.

5. He's wired

Michael has been using electronic filing for patent applications for years. Recently, the USPTO instituted some changes, making it easier to file electronically. Now many firms are following Mike's lead.

E-filing saves money for many inventors and ensures immediate confirmation from the USPTO. In addition, Michael is implementing additional state-of-the-art technologies to make the entire process more accurate and efficient. As a solo practitioner, he offers big firm features like an extranet; realtime, off-site backup of important files; and automated document assembly and document management.

6. Best of all, he's affordable

Without the overhead of a large law firm, Michael offers his superior services at attractive rates. He has contracted with an outstanding patent draftsman who can provide drawings for his clients at very competitive rates.
