Primary industry: Legal | Secondary industry: Other

David is a US Registered Patent Agent, a Certified Patent Practitioner with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and the principal owner of Applied Patents, a patent firm with more than 20 years of experience in national and international patent law. We help innovators, startups, and global companies develop and implement effective worldwide patent strategies.

David’s background as a principal manager at a major patent search firm gives him unique insight into every stage of innovation development, from early patentability assessment to invalidity analyses.

As an engineer, David supports inventors in reducing their ideas to practice. And as an experienced patent holder, David understands the hurdles startups face.

The journey of protecting an innovation typically begins with a targeted patent search to uncover prior patents and technologies, identify patentable aspects, and reveal competitors or potential infringement concerns.

A tailored global patent strategy is developed that supports client’s business goals. From there, a parent application can be filed giving you official “Patent Pending” status and securing a filing date that can later be leveraged for international filings.

As experienced foreign patent strategists, we have developed proprietary systems giving clients clarity they need to make strategic patent decisions.
