Patent Drafting and Prosecution
Patent Drafting & Prosecution
Soquel Group is a specialized patent agency focusing on hardware & software high technology companies.
Our core service is to draft world-wide patents with powerful claim-sets and prosecute them to issuance. We have drafted hundreds of patents and have a 100% success rate at getting our patents issued.

- Manage payment of patent annuities and maintenance fees
- Draft IP-related portions of corporate reports,
presentations and prospectuses - Assist with due diligence
Internal Patent Agency
For small to mid-sized companies, we function as an in-house patent agent. We work with the Company’s legal counsel and with R&D management to put in place IP policies and practices that ensure that inventions are identified, protected and patented in a timely fashion. Our methods include:
- Regular disclosure meetings tied to the R&D roadmap
- Dissemination & review of invention summaries
- Drafting, filing, prosecution of patents
- Formulation and management of an IP budget
How We Work
Soquel Group works with inventors in a non-invasive way that minimizes distraction to their ongoing work. Soquel Group utilizes existing in-house documents and does not tap into R&D time by requiring multiple meetings; typically a single disclosure meeting is sufficient to enable Soquel Group to prepare an initial patent draft. In this way, Soquel Group can quickly file patent applications before products are released or made
public, without impacting development schedules.
