Design Patent Protection
Protect the Unique Look of an Item.
A design patent protects the unique look, shape, or form of an item. You would generally apply for a design patent if the item you are protecting has a novel and valuable appearance. In some cases, design patent protection is appropriate when you have improved upon an already existing product through a unique change in its look, shape, or form, i.e., an aesthetic improvement.

Matthew walked me through the trademark process from beginning to end and beyond. He is very professional, timely, and really cares about his clients. He is honest, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain things in terms I can understand! I'd give him 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend!

I was looking for a Patent Attorney because I was against a deadline to re-submit my application. I googled patent attorneys and Matthew Mitchell appeared in my search. I read his reviews and decided to move forward with Matthew. We had an initial phone consultation and I sent over my documents for him to review. Matthew responded promptly and with an estimate. I did not hesitate and paid Matthew promptly. We spoke again during the decision period from the USPTO and he told me we had a chance. Well today Matthew sent us some great news. We had been approved. Do yourself a favor and just retain Mr. Mitchells services. He is up front, answers his phone calls and emails promptly. He is truly about customer service and makes you feel like he cares and this is not just not another client or number.
Thank you again Matthew! You have a client for life.

Matthew made what was initially a confusing and somewhat challenging application process easy and fluid. He provided sound advice and was easy to work with during the application drafting stage. He also stayed in contact with me throughout my design application process and updated me as best as possible as to the status of my application. I am very pleased with his services and would definitely recommend his services to others going through this process!
