It turns out that getting a software patent is not all that hard but getting a patent that truly protects your invention, especially in the face of litigation, is just not that easy.

MarLyn Consulting offers technical services that greatly enhance your patent filing. Services include:

• Finding the patentable inventions in your software.

• Creating the specification for a provisional patent.

• Working with you or your lawyers to create the specification for a utility patent.

• Constructing or reviewing your claims, where the smallest detail such as a missing comma or poorly defined term can cost millions in litigation.

• Helping during patent prosecution to overcome claim rejections based on prior art.

• Working with your litigators to provide technical input for the all-important Claim Construction (Markman) hearing.

Our services will add substantial value while not adding significant cost.
