Patent Attorney vs Patent Agent
Michael Exclusively Practices Patent Protection
Unlike patent attorneys, patent agents do not represent clients in court proceedings or prepare legal documents unrelated to patents. Patent agents are solely focused on obtaining patent protection.
Patent Agents, like Patent Attorneys, have passed the Patent Bar through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Michael’s extensive experience as a Patent Examiner earned him a waiver of the U.S. Patent Bar Examination. Michael nevertheless challenged the Patent Bar Exam in 2011 and passed on his first attempt.
He is registered with the USPTO and licensed to secure patents on behalf of his clients.
Patent agents are required to have an education in technical subjects like engineering science.
Michael earned a B.S. in Engineering Science and Mechanics from Virginia Tech concentrating in biomedical engineering. He also earned a B.S. in Mathematics from Metropolitan State University of Denver focusing on theoretical mathematics. Michael’s technical qualifications help him serve a diverse set of industries and patent seekers.
