Trenner Law Firm: Supporting Innovation in Golden and Colorado’s Front Range
Golden, Colorado, is a town of innovation and creativity. At Trenner Law Firm, our mission is to help inventors protect their ideas and navigate the patent process. Mark Trenner is licensed in the state of Colorado and before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, engineer, or hobbyist, protecting your invention is a high priority. Trenner Law Firm understands patent law, offering step-by-step guidance to secure your intellectual property rights. We make the process straightforward, so you can focus on developing your ideas without stress.
Golden has long been one of Colorado’s centers for engineering, entrepreneurship, research, and innovation. Home to leading technical institutions, growing businesses, outdoor product companies, and a strong entrepreneurial community, Golden continues to attract inventors, engineers, founders, and business owners building technologies that shape Colorado’s future.
Trenner Law Firm is proudly based in Golden, providing support for inventors, startups, small businesses, and established companies throughout Colorado to protect inventions, brands, and intellectual property through strategic patent and trademark counsel.
Mark founded his practice to help innovators protect the ideas they are working hard to build. From early-stage startups and solo inventors to established businesses and technical founders, he helps clients develop intellectual property strategies aligned with real business goals.
Golden is one of Colorado’s most technically sophisticated communities. With close proximity to engineering talent, research institutions, and Colorado’s broader startup ecosystem, I understand both the technical and business challenges faced by innovators across the Front Range.
My connection to Golden is deeply rooted in my professional career. From 2006 to 2010, I served as Senior Patent Counsel at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) – now the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) – in Golden, Colorado, where I negotiated patent licensing agreements, supported technology transfer initiatives, and structured strategic commercialization transactions with businesses across multiple industries. That experience continues to inform my approach to helping clients protect, license, and monetize valuable intellectual property.
