I have engineered a steel, bolt-on platform-support bracket that locks onto either a square or round 5.5-inch pole or beam, and a fully functioning prototype is already in hand. My next step is to secure strong intellectual-property protection, and I need a registered patent attorney who can guide me end-to-end—from a thorough prior-art search through to drafting and filing a U.S. utility patent application. Scope of work • Conduct a comprehensive U.S. and international prior-art search (USPTO, WIPO, Google Patents, etc.) and deliver a clear report outlining relevant references and patentability observations. • Advise on claim strategy, potential design-versus-utility routes, and whether a provisional filing offers any tactical benefit. • Prepare the full utility application: detailed specification, numbered claims, abstract, and USPTO-compliant drawings (I can supply CAD files, photos, and measurements). • File the application electronically via EFS-Web/Patent Center and provide the official filing receipt, application number, and confirmation of all fees paid. • Remain available for minor revisions or clarifications during the first Office Action cycle. Key details • No previous patents or applications cover this invention, so freedom to draft broadly. • Preferred timeline is 60–120 days from project start to filing; I can turn around prototype photos, CAD exports, or additional data within 24 hours of your request. • Confidentiality is essential—an NDA template is ready for signature before sharing technical documentation. Acceptance criteria 1. Written search report with cited references and opinion on patentability. 2. Draft application (specification, claims, drawings) reviewed and approved by me. 3. Proof of successful electronic filing with the USPTO. If you have deep experience in mechanical hardware patents and can steer the process smoothly within the stated timeframe, I’m eager to collaborate.

Hello, As a patent law and mechanical inventions specialist with experience preparing and prosecuting utility patent applications for industrial hardware and engineered mechanical systems, I assist inventors in transforming working prototypes into strategically drafted patent filings designed for broad protection and long-term enforceability. I understand the importance of combining strong claim drafting with practical commercial positioning from the outset. I can manage the process end-to-end, beginning with a comprehensive prior-art search across USPTO, WIPO, Google Patents, and related databases, followed by a detailed patentability assessment and claim strategy analysis. Based on your prototype, CAD files, and technical materials, I will prepare a full U.S. utility patent application including the specification, claims, abstract, and USPTO-compliant drawings. I can also advise on provisional versus non-provisional strategy, potential design patent overlap, and broader protection opportunities for the bracket system and locking mechanism. The deliverables will include the search report, draft application for your review, and proof of successful USPTO electronic filing within your proposed timeline. Martin K.
