How Primetech Can Help You

Chad Peterson, founder of Primetech Patents, is a registered Patent Attorney with many years of experience with all manner of computer- and technology-related patents.  He has a B.S. in Computer Science, and spent several years as a programmer before attending law school.  He uses all of his collected experience to help you obtain the maximum patent protection for your invention.

Applying for a patent is a long process that is not only rather complicated, it also contains numerous pitfalls.  For example, the language of the patent claims needs to be narrow enough to avoid all of the prior art that is out there so the patent application won’t be denied, while also being broad enough to allow for the maximum protection of the invention.  Chad’s years of experience in patent litigation gives him perspective on the kind of balancing required for successfully drafting patent claims.  In addition, software patents have unique considerations that must be taken into account when drafting patent claims, and Chad’s expertise in software gives him special insights into the drafting of software patent claims.

A second challenge to obtaining a patent is the length of time the entire process takes, and the requirement to constantly stay up to date with the numerous Patent Office regulations, which change frequently.  Chad stays up to date with the changing Patent Office rules, such as the changes resulting from the enactment of the America Invents Act.   Also, while the initial application can appear deceptively simple, there are generally multiple interactions with the Patent Office over the typical several-year process of obtaining a patent.  Let Primetech take care of it all for you and make sure your patent will protect your invention!

With a wealth of experience in a broad range of technical fields, Chad is able to understand the underlying details and intricacies of your innovation while protecting its niche in legal terms.  He does not handle chemical or biological patents (except as they may relate to computer applications), but can see patents through from beginning to end in fields such as software, telecommunications, computer games, mobile apps, website technology, computer graphics, and medical devices.  Chad is able to get up to speed on new technologies quickly, often in a matter of minutes.  He can also draw on his experience as a programmer, database engineer, website designer, game architect, and of course as a patent attorney.

While Chad is located in the Raleigh-Durham metropolitan area, he can help you with your patent application regardless of your location.  With Primetech, your patent application will be in capable hands.
