Bio

Kathleen Kuznicki is a Patent Attorney registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. She works with individuals and businesses, including start-up businesses, to protect some of their most valuable assets, their intellectual property.

Innovative persons and businesses working diligently to solve problems through inventions should seek protection for those inventions by obtaining a patent. Kathleen is highly skilled in translating inventive concepts into patents. She assists inventors with the initial filing of a patent application and continues to work with them during the prosecution of the application. After a patent is issued, Kathleen assists by pursuing infringers.

A business often works very hard and invests significant time and money to build a brand by executing marketing strategies that support the goods and services it provides. Through trademark registration and aggressive defense of that registration, Kathleen helps protect that investment and also the good will a business has worked to establish in its brand.
