Michigan Patent Attorney

Patent counsel for Michigan's mobility, automation, and industrial innovators – from Detroit's supplier base to the state's growing tech scene.

Michigan's engineering density is hard to match – mobility, automation, advanced manufacturing, and the supplier ecosystem around them. It's a state where deeply technical inventions are the norm, and where patent quality depends on an attorney who can keep up with the engineering.

For Michigan's industrial base

From the Detroit mobility corridor to manufacturers across the state, we draft patents with an engineer's eye for the claim that actually reads on a competitor's product and holds up when you enforce it.

  • Mobility, automotive systems, and components
  • Industrial automation, robotics, and controls
  • Advanced manufacturing and materials
  • Software and AI layered onto physical systems

How we work with Michigan clients

  • Utility, design, and provisional patent applications
  • Freedom-to-operate opinions before tooling up a new line
  • Trade-secret strategy for process know-how
  • Enforcement against copycats and coordination with trial counsel

A note on litigation: patent disputes involving Michigan companies are commonly heard in the Eastern District of Michigan in Detroit. Our focus is prosecution and strategy, working with litigation counsel when a matter escalates.

Questions from Michigan inventors

Do you have to be in Michigan to help?

No. A registered patent attorney can represent Michigan inventors before the USPTO from anywhere. We work with Michigan clients primarily by video, in person when it makes sense.

We're an automotive supplier – is our process patentable?

Often yes, and sometimes it's better protected as a trade secret. We help you decide which mechanisms and processes to file and which to keep dark.

Can you handle both mechanical and software claims?

Yes – the engineering background spans mechanical, electro-mechanical, controls, and the software layered on them.
