USPTO Registered attorney wanted
I'm seeking a USPTO-registered patent attorney to handle the reinstatement of a lapsed US patent,
I may consider some one who has an affiliation with USA based attorney
Summary of the matter:
- Patent: US 11,287,302 B2 (Application 16/603,824, granted March 29, 2022)
- Cause: missed 3.5-year maintenance fee; patent lapsed March 30, 2026 after the grace period expired
- Filing needed: petition under 37 CFR 1.378(b) to accept the delayed maintenance fee payment, with an unintentional-delay statement
- Entity status: Micro Entity
- Current status: approximately 4 months past lapse, well within the 1-year and 2-year petition thresholds, so no additional evidentiary showing beyond the standard unintentional-delay statement should be required
I've attached a matter summary with the full chronology, the correspondence from prior counsel documenting the circumstances of the delay, and my own estimate of the USPTO government fees involved.
Before we discuss scope further, could you please provide:
1. Your full legal name and USPTO registration number
2. Your active state bar number and jurisdiction
3. A brief description of 1-2 comparable maintenance-fee reinstatement matters you've handled
4. A flat-fee quote for this specific petition, itemized separately from USPTO government fees
I verify all registration and bar credentials independently against the public USPTO and state bar directories before engaging counsel, so please include this information directly in your reply.
I look forward to your proposal.
Best regards,
Dave Ward
