Idaho is a leader in patents granted on a per-capita basis. In 2010, the United States granted 1295 patents to inventors living in Idaho. With a population of 1.57 million, Idaho received about 826 patents per million residents. In 2011, Idaho residents were awarded 1235 patents–about 779 patents per million residents.

However, Idaho is below the median for the number of patent attorneys and agents per capita, at 83 patent agents/attorneys (or roughly 19,000 residents per). In the past, many Idaho residents and businesses needing patent protection have sought the services of patent attorneys in other states.

Parry IP can fulfill your need for a local patent attorney. I have drafted and prosecuted patent applications covering mechanical, chemical, electrical, software, and business method inventions. I provide a highly personalized level of service and I will take the time to determine what your individual intellectual property needs are–and then formulate the plan to protect your intellectual property assets.

Why Parry IP?

If you want a patent attorney right here in the Treasure Valley, you can entrust your intellectual property to me because:

Personal and personalized service

I understand that everybody’s risk tolerance, business needs, and ideas are unique. I will take the time and effort to understand your specific needs, rather than trying to shoehorn you into a boilerplate intellectual property protection strategy. When you engage my patent services, I will personally work with you and handle every aspect of your patent application–from conception of your idea all the way through granting a patent from the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Value delivered

Because I work and reside in the Boise area, I understand your sensibilities and economic needs. I realize that it can seem prohibitively expensive to get a patent. Let me show you that it does not have to be. Because I do not have to cover the expense of a high-rise office at a costly location, I pass those savings to my clients. If you want a flashy attorney in an expensive location, I recommend that you seek someone else’s services. If you want a hard working, diligent patent attorney, please give me a call.

Technical and legal understanding

I have worked on patent applications for a wide range of devices in varied fields; from bottle caps to solar energy devices to oil well chemicals, from database management software to automobile parts to electrical devices.

I have worked in the process from both sides of the table–as a contract worker for the US Patent and Trademark Office, where I did patent searches and analyses for patentability, and as a patent attorney, drafting and prosecuting patent applications. I have also seen a fair share of patent and other civil litigation, so I am aware of the kinds of scrutiny a patent is typically put through.

Attention to detail

The strength of a patent can be strongly affected by seemingly innocuous wording choices. Minor mistakes committed during the patenting process can destroy the patent holder’s ability to enforce the patent years later. You need a patent attorney that not only knows what pitfalls to avoid but will take the time to carefully study the issues and thoughtfully prepare your patent application and response documents accordingly.

How Much Will a Patent Cost Me?

While the cost of seeking patent protection are heavily dependent on the complexity and technology area of your invention (among other factors), we bill all matters on a flat-fee basis. After we get the basics of your idea, we will provide you with a quote for the specified service–which will be your cost for that task (subject to changes in government filing fees).

As we will explain to you at the time of engaging in services, many actions with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office may result in future costs that are not included in the quote for that task. For example, when you file a patent application, future costs may include: fees for certain petitions, publication fees, and issue fees. We can provide a run-down of potential costs that you may incur in the future during the entire process–please ask!

Delay or Inaction Could Cause a Permanent Loss of Rights!

U.S. Patent laws create many deadlines that cannot be extended. Delay past such deadlines, even if unintentional, could severely impact an inventor’s ability to secure rights to an invention. Contact Parry IP today to discuss how we can protect your idea and prevent the loss of rights.
