ABOUT THE CAPITOL PATENT & TRADEMARK LAW FIRM, PLLC ®

Simplified fee structure. You no longer have to pay for every reporting letter or every communication received from the USPTO. CAPPAT only charges a fee for substantive work that is completed; no fees are ever charged for reporting communications from the USPTO. 

Because we are close to the USPTO, your patent applications will most likely be issued sooner and will be stronger than if they were handled by a firm outside of the Washington, D.C. area. The reason for this is straightforward: we conduct in-person interviews with USPTO Examiners. Many times this reduces the time it takes to overcome objections raised by USPTO Examiners. Further, in-person interviews many times reduce the need to file detailed written explanations with the USPTO. The less put in writing translates into stronger issued patents.

A wealth of experience. CAPPAT attorneys have U.S. Supreme Court experience, extensive federal court litigation experience, have extensive IPR experience, have won awards from MIT, and have been appointed to nanotechnology committees by the legislature of Virginia. Since 1996, a CAPPAT attorney has represented one of the world’s leading research and development laboratories, Bell Laboratories, and has filed and prosecuted over 1,000 U.S. patent applications.
