Good day sir, I have an engineering degree as well as a law degree. I have done a three-year course on intellectual property. I assisted a client in New York to respond to a rejection (office action) of a non-provisional patent by the examiner at the USPTO (the United States Patent and Trademark Office). We had a telephone interview with the examiner. The patent has subsequently been granted as US9233507B2. This was largely a software/algorithm patent. I also drafted for the same client another non-provisional patent (3d-printing) which was also filed at the USPTO. Patent was granted as US9435998B1. I drafted patents for a client in Melbourne Australia for a betting system and a cryptocurrency wallet. I have drafted a patent for a client in California. I also handled the office action in this case. A patent was granted at the USPTO with number US 10,406,075B2. A patent was also granted at the Canadian Patent Office for the same invention as CA3029662C. For a client in Washington state l drafted four design patents, three utility patents and registered one trademark and three office actions. For a German company TMRW International S.a r.l. I did 6 prior art searches and subsequently drafted the 6 patents. Drafted several patents for a US patent attorney located in Michigan. Did several Office Actions for client in Canada. Drafted patent for a radiation curtain bracket in the US. For client in Saudi Arabia did a patent for an underwater cleaning device. Regards, Deon.

Hello I will approach your USPTO office action response with a methodical and prosecution focused strategy designed to protect claim scope while complying with the restriction and election requirements. My execution begins with a detailed review of the office action and your current claim set to understand the examiner’s rationale and how the restriction impacts the invention’s coverage. I will then prepare a clear election in compliance with 37 CFR 1.143, ensuring the elected invention is strategically chosen to preserve key embodiments and maintain flexibility for future continuation filings. Where necessary, I will amend claims to strengthen their clarity, distinctiveness, and enforceability without sacrificing breadth. My Bachelor of Laws degree, combined with experience in intellectual property law and USPTO procedure, equips me to produce precise, persuasive responses that address the examiner’s concerns while positioning your application for smooth advancement. Pro tip is to frame the election in a way that both satisfies the examiner and leaves a pathway open for pursuing non elected claims later, safeguarding your broader commercial objectives. My goal is to deliver a compliant yet strategically advantageous reply that strengthens your patent position
