PATENT Prosecution 

​

     Wade IP Law is equipped to handle to all types of prosecution matters from all over the world. We focus on results that offers our clients the most comprehensive intellectual property coverage possible, that build a solid patent portfolio and that can stand up to validity challenges. Wade IP Law prosecutes top-quality utility patents across a broad range of technical disciplines and we do it with high levels of efficiency. 

​

     We routinely conduct interviews with Examiners and can be tasked with requesting interviews for those identified cases of significant prior art issues or which have a high probability of obtaining a first action allowance before issuance of the first office action, and preferably within six (6) months of filing a non-provisional patent application or entering the national stage of prosecution in the US.

                         

     As a standard part of our protocol, we routinely respond to Patent Office actions or notices by the shortened statutory time periods prescribed under the law to minimize patent prosecution costs and, where applicable, to minimize the reduction of accumulated patent term adjustment. Extensions of time and possible fees associated with responses to Patent Office actions or notices shall be arranged with our clients in advance.

                                   

     Wade IP Law shall bring unelected or withdrawn subject matter to the attention of our client and advise on the availability of rights in such subject matter in view of the prosecution history.  In cases where we concluded that a rejoinder on the unelected or withdrawn claims is unlikely, then we will draft new claims to place them in a better position to be rejoined later, providing the most value to our clients.
