What the Plano office handles

Every matter opened here is run by the same registered attorneys who handle the firm's work across Texas, at a flat fee quoted in writing before anything starts.

• Patents: Searches, drafting, USPTO filing and office actions for utility, design and provisional applications.
• Trademarks: Clearance searches, federal registration, responses to refusals, and renewals.
• Copyrights: Registration for written work, software, art, music and photography.
• Trade secrets: Protection programs, confidentiality agreements, and enforcement when something walks out the door.
• IP litigation: Infringement claims and defense in federal court, including cease and desist letters.
• Business law: Entity formation, contracts, and the agreements that keep ownership of the work clear.

What it costs

Fees are flat and quoted in writing before work begins, so the number you are told is the number you pay. A patent quote, whether provisional, non-provisional utility, or design, includes the search, drafting, illustrator and filing clerk fees, attorney time, and the USPTO filing fee for one application. Trademark applications and LLC formations are quoted the same way. Office action responses are quoted separately when they arise, because their scope depends on what the examiner says. To get a written quote, including for litigation and copyright work, use the costs and fees page.

Who does the work

Richard Eldredge is a USPTO registered patent attorney, registration number 61,902, and a licensed professional engineer, and he founded the firm in 2008. Brandon Leavitt is admitted to the USPTO Trademark Office and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and to the United States District Courts for the Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western Districts of Texas. Both are licensed by the State Bar of Texas.
