Skilled Patent Prosecution for Engineers, by an Engineer
As an engineer, you understand how technically complex your innovation is. You also understand that there can be a long onboarding process to bring in outside help to protect your innovation. When you work with Saalini, that process is cut back extensively. Her education, training, and work experience in engineering means she has been in your shoes, speaks your language, and can quickly anticipate your needs.
Moreover, Saalini understands the business side of pursuing engineering patents. She’s worked in a large company and has experienced firsthand what the internal processes are like, the hurdles that must be overcome, and so much more.
Saalini takes this broad knowledge and applies it to the patent prosecution process, carefully completing patent applications and advocating tenaciously when interacting with the US Patent & Trademark Office.
