About Vic
I am a Christian and a registered patent attorney specializing in IP for startups and entrepreneurs. I’m also a cofounder of Innovation Capital Law Group, a boutique law firm focused on helping startups in IP and corporate and securities law. As licensed patent practitioners, my team and I are authorized to represent clients from anywhere in the world in patent and trademark matters before the USPTO.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower entrepreneurs with rock solid IP that facilitates funding, growth and sales. We accomplish this through honest guidance and transparent flat fee billing.
Core Values
Our TRUE core values guide the way we serve our clients.
Transparent billing
Our firm charges fixed fees for patent and trademark filings. For utility patent applications, we provide a flat fee estimate for the initial filing after reviewing your invention disclosure. We also offer flat rate responses to USPTO Office Actions.
Responsive
Yes, we actually return phone calls and emails promptly. Our clients receive timely updates on their IP applications and reminders in advance of deadlines.
Underdog
We love representing the Davids battling the Goliaths. If you’re a founder feeling left out by big law firms, let us know how we can help.
Effective
Though we value efficiency and running a lean operation, we care even more about efficacy. The majority of our clients are startups and small businesses who must wisely invest their limited resources for IP protection. So we apply our expertise to make honest recommendations for a smarter path to IP success. Here are examples of our efficacy:
- Conducting a patentability search before filing a utility non-provisional patent application
- Performing a knockout search before filing a trademark application
- Conducting patent examiner interviews to discuss claim rejections and gather insight for a more persuasive Office Action response
