Missouri Patent Attorney

Patent counsel for St. Louis and Kansas City innovators – ag-tech, medical devices, manufacturing, and software.

Missouri's innovation runs from St. Louis's plant-science and medical-device strength to Kansas City's manufacturing and growing tech scene. It's a state with serious applied research and a lot of protectable technology that never gets filed.

For Missouri's innovators

  • Agricultural technology and plant science
  • Medical devices and health technology
  • Manufacturing and industrial equipment
  • Software, data, and AI-assisted inventions

How we help

  • Utility, design, and provisional patent applications
  • Freedom-to-operate before a launch or a raise
  • Portfolio strategy for startups and established makers
  • Enforcement and marketplace takedowns for consumer products

A note on litigation: patent cases involving Missouri companies may be heard in the Eastern District (St. Louis) or Western District (Kansas City) of Missouri. We focus on prosecution and strategy and coordinate with trial counsel as needed.

Questions from Missouri inventors

Can you represent me if you're not in Missouri?

Yes. Patent prosecution is federal, so a registered patent attorney can represent Missouri inventors from anywhere. We work with Missouri clients by video.

We're an ag-tech startup – what should we protect?

Usually the core method or system via a provisional, with a freedom-to-operate check before you scale. Plant-science inventions can raise extra questions we'll walk through.

How early should we file?

Before public disclosure or an offer for sale where possible – the U.S. grace period is limited and foreign rights can be lost on disclosure.

Protecting an invention in Missouri?

Start with a conversation – in person around Milwaukee or by video anywhere in Missouri.
