International companies & foreign associates

Your U.S. patent counsel.

Parti & Oliveira helps businesses and patent counsel outside the United States pursue U.S. patent protection. Work directly with Vik Parti, a USPTO registered patent attorney licensed in Florida and Texas, on the American part of your patent strategy.

U.S. representation

From filing instructions to examiner review.

U.S. applications

Preparation and filing of U.S. applications, including coordination of filings based on an existing foreign application. We review the record, objectives, and proposed scope before proceeding.

PCT national stage

Support with the U.S. national stage of an international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. Filing dates, required materials, and instructions are reviewed for the particular matter.

Examiner responses

Analysis of USPTO objections, proposed claim amendments, and examiner interviews when appropriate. We explain the choices so you and your client can make informed decisions.

For background on the process, see the USPTO's U.S. national stage resources.

Working together

Clear responsibilities. Direct communication.

For foreign patent counsel

We agree on the division of work, reporting preferences, and approval process at the outset. Your instructions and your client's commercial objectives guide the U.S. engagement. We can coordinate with your team on drafting, examiner responses, and continuing portfolio decisions.

For international businesses

You receive an explanation of the U.S. work involved, anticipated professional fees, and separate government charges. Where another jurisdiction is involved, we coordinate with appropriately qualified local counsel. Our role is U.S. representation before the USPTO.

Our communications are in English. If translated materials or language assistance are needed, we discuss arrangements and costs before work begins.

Tell us the stage of your matter.

Begin with your company or firm name, technology area, requested U.S. work, and any known deadline. Please send a nonconfidential summary first. We will confirm conflicts, scope, fees, and acceptance before assuming responsibility for the matter.
