U.S. Trademark & Patent Attorney | USPTO Filings & IP Strategy

With a background in mechanical engineering and a passion for intellectual property law, I help inventors and businesses protect their ideas and turn innovation into strategic assets. I’m a USPTO-registered Patent Attorney (Reg. No. 82,362) and a licensed attorney in Florida (Bar #1059048), with experience guiding clients through the full patent process—from initial idea to issued patent. Whether you’re launching a startup or expanding a product line, I provide practical, technically-informed legal support designed to protect what makes your business unique. Core Services: 1. Patent Preparation & Prosecution — Drafting strong, enforceable patent applications aligned with your business goals. 2. Patentability & Prior Art Searches — Determining whether your invention is new and worth pursuing. 3. Office Action Responses — Strategically responding to USPTO rejections to move your application forward. 4. Patent Strategy & Portfolio Management — Structuring IP protection to support business growth and long-term value. 5. Infringement & Validity Consulting — Assessing patent rights for enforcement, defense, or licensing decisions. I also serve as an Adjunct Professor at St. Thomas University College of Law, where I teach Innovations and Patent Management. My teaching experience has sharpened my ability to explain complex patent issues clearly and help clients make informed decisions. My mission is simple: to help people protect what they create—because dreams deserve to be pursued, and securing the underlying intellectual property is the foundation of that pursuit. I work with inventors, founders, and creative professionals to ensure they own what they build and are positioned for success. Fluent in Spanish, I work with clients across industries and borders. If you're ready to protect your invention or need guidance through the patent process, I'm here to help.
