Patent

The Ream Law Firm actively directs its practice to the preparation and prosecution of patent applications and vigorously represents inventors before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  Patent prosecution refers to the process of engaging in a back and forth written and oral dialogue with a patent examiner in order to determine the scope of patent protection that an invention is entitled to as described in a patent application.  Dale Ream has obtained well over 400 patents for his clients over the past decade.  It is advisable to conduct a patent search prior to filing a patent application so that it may be determined if an invention may be granted a patent upon substantive examination.  A patentability opinion letter is prepared by Mr. Ream after a patent search has been conducted.
