Optics and Electronics Patents
it’s what we do.Philosophy
We’ve worked for some of the largest patent firms in the nation, but that’s not who we are. At FreeStone IP, we are dedicated to providing quality outcomes rather than billing hours. We prioritize retaining top talent and allowing our attorneys to spend the time to do the project right at a fixed fee cost. Ultimately, this priority adds value to the client in the form of quality, time-saved, and fewer dollars spent during prosecution. And this isn’t just a theory – the results are in the data.
We love bringing our optics and electronics experience from both engineering careers and legal experience to the projects we handle. Our clients range from tech startups to Fortune 100 corporations and we recognize the changing IP priorities that companies encounter as they grow. Understanding our client’s strategic purpose is our priority for each patent application we are trusted with.
