Helping Colorado Inventors Protect Their Ideas and Bring Them to Market

If you’re working on an invention in Colorado, you may be wondering how to protect it and what steps to take next. I work with inventors, engineers, small business owners, and startup founders all across Colorado, including the Denver metro area, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and the Western Slope.

My role is to help you understand your patent options, guide you through the process, and support your idea as it grows. Whether you’re sketching concepts on a notepad, refining a working prototype, or preparing to talk with investors, you don’t have to figure this out alone.

I’ve been helping Colorado inventors navigate the patent process for more than 20 years. I’ll walk through it with you step-by-step, answer your questions, and help you move forward with confidence.

Who I Help

I work with innovators across Colorado, including:

  • Inventors developing physical products, tools, equipment, or outdoor gear
  • Startup founders building new technology or launching a product to market
  • Engineers and designers refining prototypes
  • Software creators and app developers exploring patent protection
  • Universities, research teams, and small businesses with growing IP portfolios
  • First-time inventors looking for clear guidance and next steps

If you’re unsure whether your idea is “ready” for a patent attorney, that’s perfectly normal. Part of my job is helping determine the right timing and approach.

Why Work With a Patent Attorney Licensed In Colorado

Working with someone in-state can make the process clearer and more effective. Colorado has a strong community of builders, outdoor innovators, renewable energy developers, aerospace engineers, medical device designers, and product creators.

I understand the local inventor landscape and have worked with clients across Denver, Boulder, Golden, Colorado Springs, and beyond. I also understand budget considerations that are important for independent inventors and early-stage startups. I’ll make sure you know the options before you commit to anything.

How the Patent Process Works (In Plain Language)

Here’s what we’ll typically do together:

  1. Confidential conversation about your invention
    We identify the inventive features and discuss your goals.
  2. Preliminary patent search and evaluation
    This helps determine whether your invention appears new and patentable.
  3. Choosing the right filing strategy
    Many Colorado inventors begin with a provisional patent application to secure “Patent Pending” status while continuing to develop or test the invention.
  4. Refinement and next steps
    As your invention evolves, we can update and strengthen your documentation.
  5. Filing the non-provisional (full) utility patent application
    This establishes your long-term rights.

Throughout this process, I’ll explain the steps in clear terms and help you make informed decisions.

What Working Together Looks Like

  • We start with a friendly conversation, not a sales call
  • I offer clear, upfront expectations and costs
  • No pushiness, no pressure
  • You get direct communication with me, not layers of staff
  • I keep your goals at the center of the strategy

My job is to protect your idea while supporting your progress.

Ready to Talk About Your Invention?

You don’t need polished drawings or a finished prototype to get started.
A conversation and your rough notes are often enough to begin.
