Lau Patent Office

Lawyers are compensated equally for drafting patent applications - whether the applications are written well or poorly, whether the applications are accepted or rejected. In fact, if a patent application is rejected, lawyers devote more billable hours to make corrections and respond to the rejections.

We specialize in reviewing patent claims in order to avoid drafting errors that can lead to delayed, costly, and unsuccessful patent applications. Every inventor, private and public organization, and lawyer submitting patent applications would benefit from this specialized review.
