Patent Attorney – Menlo Park


Menlo Park innovators should take a serious look at their present patent service provider(s) and consider whether it’s time to step up to a top patent law firm that is also affordable - Maiorana, P.C. Many of Maiorana, P.C.’s clients are established Silicon Valley technology companies competing in key computer, software and semiconductor market segments. We continue to provide superb patent legal services and unsurpassed value for our clients, as we have since 1998. To enhance our responsiveness for our California, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley clients we added an office in San Jose, CA during the spring of 2017. Our new location enables us to more readily conduct in-person examiner interviews in the Silicon Valley US Patent and Trademark Office.

According to Crunchbase there are more than 610 companies in Menlo Park including Facebook (and its acquisitions including Instagram, Oculus and WhatsApp) SRI International, Exponent, Geron, Quantifind, Intersect ENT, InVisage Technologies, WeVideo and Axwave. Menlo Park is also the proud home a large number of venture capital firms (many of which are located on or near Sand Hill Road) including: Silver Lake Partners, Sequoia, Andreesen Horowitz, Opus Capital, Benchmark, Bessemer, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Redpoint, Greylock, Lightspeed, Mayfield, Menlo, Khosla and Foundation. We look forward to enabling innovative companies located in Menlo Park or financed by one of Menlo Park’s outstanding venture capital firms to improve their bottom line through acquisition and use of exclusive patent rights. Please consider how we can best serve your needs.

Maiorana P.C. has acquired more than 1,700 issued US patents for our clients. Our attorneys have the skill and discipline to use extendible deadlines and continuation applications to obtain rights for your key innovations, and to guide you to use those rights for the competitive advantage you deserve. Our patent prosecution and patent licensing experience together with our corporate counsel expertise enables us to acquire rights that can withstand licensing and litigation challenges that typically arise when attempting to prevent others from practicing inventions without your authorization.

Maiorana P.C. provides exceptional value by aligning with our efforts with our clients’ dynamic need to address ever-changing competitive landscapes.
