I work on patent applications now as an inventor and as a contractor. Most of my work involves prosecution assistance (Responses to PTO Office Actions). I have
also done a fair amount of litigation assistance, mostly dozens of claim charts and a few patent trees. Besides patent language work, I've also worked on ancillary matters like Drawings and I.P. Markings;
three trademark matters (athletic league name; cannabis-themed name; and one regarding my application for "Propeller Head"); and a domain name dispute. All work was for licensed attorneys (as clients) or for myself only.
Much of my patent work has involved software algorithms. Click here to see the first computer-related job I ever had.
