Built around outcomes, not billable hours.

Every engagement starts with the same question: what does protected actually mean for your business, and what's the shortest path to get there?

Patent Strategy & Filing

The problem

Your innovation is exposed the moment you share it with investors, contractors, hires, or customers. Without a filing, priority belongs to whoever gets there first.

If you don't act

File too late and someone else can claim the invention. File the wrong claims and the patent is unenforceable when it matters.

Working with Mario

Strategy session → invention disclosure → claim drafting → provisional and/or non-provisional filing → prosecution → international strategy when relevant.

Trademark Protection

The problem

Your brand name, logo, and product names are commercial assets. Without registration, you have very limited ability to stop someone else from using them.

If you don't act

Years of brand equity can be erased by a competitor that registers first, or by a clearance issue you didn't know existed.

Working with Mario

Clearance search → federal registration → office action responses → opposition and cancellation when needed → portfolio management as you grow.

Copyright Protection

The problem

Code, content, designs, and marketing copy. The work that makes your product distinct is protectable, but only if it's properly documented and registered.

If you don't act

Without registration on the record, enforcement becomes slow, expensive, and limited in remedies.

Working with Mario

Identify protectable works → registration filings → assignment and licensing language → ongoing protection as the product evolves.

Patent Litigation & Enforcement

The problem

Someone is using your protected work without permission, or someone is claiming you're using theirs. Either way, the next move sets the trajectory.

If you don't act

Reactive responses cost more, leak leverage, and often miss the strategic move entirely.

Working with Mario

Infringement analysis → cease and desist → licensing negotiations → litigation strategy and counsel through resolution.
