Our Patent Services.
Domestic and foreign utility and design patent applications, from preparation through prosecution.
Our approach
Counsel for the ideas and interests that move business forward.
The BrooksGroup offers a broad range of patent-related services for clients in the United States and internationally. Through trusted foreign associates, the firm provides patent services in over 30 foreign countries. Cary W. Brooks brings experience across a wide variety of technologies and legal proceedings, from patent preparation and prosecution to opinions, licensing and litigation.
The BrooksGroup can help clients establish invention disclosure programs and participate in invention review boards. Together, we can evaluate whether an invention is suited to a provisional, non-provisional, PCT or design application, or should instead remain a trade secret. Patentability searches and opinions help clients decide where to invest their resources.
