Patent Filing and Prosecution Boutique
Patent Filing
We will review your invention disclosure with you and develop strategies for preparing and filing patent applications in the U.S. and internationally. Once we agree on the contents of your patent application, we will draft it for your approval. Upon approval, we will file your application in the U.S. and in any additional jurisdictions we agree upon. We file foreign applications through a network of our foreign associates.
Patent Prosecution
After your patent application is filed, we will handle all communications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), including responding to office actions and submitting required documents and disclosures to move your application toward allowance. For foreign office actions, we will prepare responses and file them through our international associates.
Patent Appeals
If we are unable to reach an agreement with a patent examiner to allow your application, we will prepare and file appeal briefs and reply briefs before the USPTO. For applications filed in other jurisdictions, we will coordinate the preparation and filing of appeals through our foreign associates.

The Makoui Law legal team is a patent and trademark prosecution law firm with decades of experience in protecting the intellectual property (patents, trademarks, and opinions) of our clients.
Makoui Law is based in Los Angeles, with offices in Silicon Valley, Orange County, and San Fernando Valley.
We provide comprehensive patent and trademark filing and protection services, both nationally and internationally.
Our patent and trademark attorneys work closely with clients to provide strategic advice and representation in all aspects of patent and trademark law — including consultation, application drafting, filing, prosecution, and appeals before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and international authorities.
Trademark Filing
We assist with selecting and clearing trademarks by conducting preliminary searches and advising on registrability. Once a mark is selected, we prepare and file trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). For international protection, we can file applications directly through the Madrid Protocol or work with our network of trusted foreign associates to file in individual jurisdictions.
Trademark Prosecution
We handle all aspects of the trademark examination process, including responding to office actions from the USPTO and addressing any refusals or objections. For foreign trademark applications, we work with our international associates to prepare and submit responses to local trademark offices.
Trademark Appeals and Oppositions
If a trademark application is refused, we can file and prosecute appeals before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB). We also represent clients in trademark and oppositions abroad, coordinating international matters through our network of foreign associates.
