BASSETT IP STRATEGIES
Intellectual Property Specialists
PRACTICE
AREAS
Bassett IP Strategies helps businesses get patents on their inventions. We’ll help your business solve intellectual property issues.
We specialize in meeting the needs of small businesses.
We have on staff a patent agent registered to practice before the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
When it comes to developing, submitting, and prosecuting your patent application; the USPTO makes no distinction between a patent attorney and a patent agent. When working on your behalf in matters dealing directly between you and the USPTO, a patent agent may perform all of the same duties that a patent attorney would perform, typically at a fraction of the cost. Where a patent agent differs from a patent attorney, is when there is a 3rd party involved.
A patent agent will not draw up a contract for you and a 3rd party, but one can file assignment agreements with the USPTO for you. A patent agent will not handle an interference between you and a separate party. A patent agent will not help you get a trademark nor a copyright.
