No. I am a patent consultant with over 10 years of combined experience as a patent examiner and patent consultant.

Patent attorneys are lawyers who specialize in patent law. While I am not a lawyer, I can assist with most of the practical work involved in obtaining a patent, often at a significantly lower cost.

My services include:
• Drafting patent applications
• Preparing replies to patent office examination reports
• Filing patent applications on your behalf
• Conducting novelty and prior‑art searches
• Providing professional opinions on patentability and potential infringement issues

Because of my background as a former patent examiner, I have extensive experience reviewing patent applications and understanding what patent offices look for during examination.

However, I cannot represent clients in court or provide formal legal advice. If legal representation becomes necessary, I can help connect you with a qualified patent attorney and work alongside them to provide technical and patent expertise when needed.
 

Traditional patent attorneys are licensed lawyers and typically charge very high hourly rates.

My business model is different.

Because I focus on patent consulting, patent drafting, and patent searching, I am able to provide many of the same practical services involved in obtaining a patent at a significantly lower cost.

This allows inventors, startups, and small businesses to obtain professional patent support without the extremely high legal fees often associated with traditional law firms.

If legal representation becomes necessary, I can help connect you with a qualified patent attorney and work alongside them as part of your patent team.

Yes.

I have extensive experience working with European, American, and international patent systems, including the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) system used for global patent applications.

If you are a Taiwanese company looking to protect your invention in markets such as the United States and Europe, I can help you prepare the application and coordinate with local patent attorneys where required.

My goal is to help Taiwanese companies protect their innovations in the global markets that matter most to them.

Yes, I can help you evaluate the situation and determine the next steps, although I cannot provide formal legal advice or represent you in court.

If you believe someone may be copying your invention, I can:

• Review the relevant patents and technical details

• Provide a preliminary, low-cost opinion on whether patent infringement may be occurring

• Analyse the scope of the patent claims

• Help you understand the strengths and weaknesses of the case

If legal action is required, I can help connect you with a qualified patent attorney who can provide legal advice and represent you in any legal proceedings.

Where appropriate, I can also work alongside the attorney to provide technical and patent expertise during the case.

My consultancy focuses primarily on international patent protection, particularly in major global markets such as the United States and Europe.
Many Taiwanese companies develop technologies that are intended for global markets, and protecting those inventions internationally is often far more important than obtaining protection only in Taiwan.
Because of my background as a former UK patent examiner, I have extensive experience with European, American, and international patent systems, including the PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) system.
If you require a Taiwan patent application, I can help connect you with a qualified Taiwan patent agent and work alongside them if necessary.

The cost of obtaining a patent can vary depending on the complexity of the invention and the countries in which protection is required.
In general, patent costs include:

• Patent drafting
• Patent office filing fees
• Examination and prosecution costs
• Translation costs (for international filings)

Traditional patent attorneys often charge very high hourly rates. My goal is to provide high-quality patent support at a more affordable cost, especially for startups and small businesses.
Because every invention is different, the best way to estimate the cost is to schedule a free consultation where we can discuss your invention and your goals for patent protection.
