GEM Patent Services
Joe Mariconda established GEM Patent Services to
serve the patent protection needs of small business and independent inventors.
With extensive experience, Joe will research and identify the ‘heart and soul’ of your invention, described it clearly and directly, and identify the broadest (reasonable) scope of patent protection, within a reasonable budget.
Whether you are an individual who needs a "Patent-Pending" status for test marketing, or you are a small business building a patent wall, quality service is offered at competitive rates by minimizing overhead but without sacrificing quality.
Subject matter covered: mechanical, electrical, software, and chemistry.

GEM Patent Services offers:
- Review of your expectations, needs and wants with respect to your objectives for protection of an invention, including a review of your budget in view of lifetime patenting costs, so that I may understand and appreciate your expectations;
this is your opportunity to tell me your priorities for patent protection and why, so that I may tailor the right solution for your needs; - Build and nurture a strong professional relationship with you; collaborate with you to meet your budget while providing good value;
- Review and understand your budget parameters, so I may tailor a fixed price quotation to meet your specific needs. If you have a particular budget in mind, let me know in advance. However, I can provide high and low estimates along with an explanation of the difference in scope for the different prices to see which costs best aligns with your expectations (this will be done as part of an informal discussion); once I understand your needs, I can then provide a written fixed-fee quotation that makes sense for your needs;
- Preparation of a patentability assessment (sometimes called a prior art search or a search summary for the purpose of identifying subject matter that is at least novel - that is, not previously published and available to the public);
I will provide an invention disclosure form for you to fill in; this task may involve a review meeting in order to fully understand your invention in the best possible light.
If nothing novel can be identified, then an application cannot be prepared and filed; - Preparation of utility patent applications (including drawings) for the case where the search results justify preparation;
- For budget-limited clients, review of a US provisional application prepared by the client, along with feedback and recommendations for changes to the provisional application before the application is filed (thereby positioning the provisional application in the best possible condition going forward, and making for a relatively easier conversion of the provisional application into a non-provisional application); I can provide training materials for this case if you desire this approach;
- Preparation of responses to office actions (to address any objections raised by a Patent Examiner);
- Consultations with no
obligation;
