Our patent services offer comprehensive protection, maximizing your invention's value and market power.
Protect Your Inventions
Your inventions are the tangible embodiment of your talent and expertise, and in today's competitive landscape, they are your key differentiator.
Patent protection not only amplifies your business valuation and secures your freedom to operate, but also delivers a competitive edge by establishing market leadership, blocking competitors and generating lucrative revenue streams.
Why Patent Protection Matters
Protects Against Unauthorized Use of Your Invention
It prevents others from exploiting your innovation without permission.
Incentivizes Ongoing Innovation and Development
By securing exclusive rights, it rewards creators, fostering continued investment in new ideas.
Provides a Strong Asset for Negotiation and Leverage
Patents are valuable property, strengthening your position in partnerships or business deals.
Our Patent Protection Services Include
PRE-FILING PATENT CLEARANCE SEARCH
Our pre-filing patent clearance search offers a deeply-thorough and customized analysis—an exhaustive exploration across patent and non-patent literature to identify any existing disclosures that could affect the patentability of your idea. We go beyond surface-level keyword scans. Our reports provide clear, actionable insights that empower you to make strategic decisions and confidently lay the legal groundwork for your innovative vision's success.

We make the complex feel manageable, so you can focus on creating assets for your business.
EXPEDITED EXAMINATION
At Sagacity Legal, we help you fast-track your patent application. If one or more inventors is 65+ or facing health challenges, you may qualify for expedited review by filing a "petition to make special" with the USPTO—at no extra cost. Our team ensures your petition is filed correctly, so your innovation gets protected faster.
PATENT PROSECUTION
Even the most innovative ideas can face pushback from patent offices. That’s where our strategic patent prosecution service steps in. We expertly respond to office actions, clarify examiner concerns and refine your application as needed to highlight your invention’s distinct value. At Sagacity, we turn legal hurdles into stepping stones – using sound judgment, expert insight and proven strategies to get your patent over the finish line.
PATENT MAINTENANCE
Securing a patent is just the beginning. Our patent maintenance service ensures that all required payments are met to keep your patent in full force. Failure to pay these fees can lead to the patent expiring prematurely and becoming unenforceable. We manage renewals, track critical deadlines and handle maintenance payments to keep the patent alive for the longest possible period of time, safeguarding exclusivity.

I was referred to Randi Karpinia’s firm, Sagacity Legal, by one of the foremost patent attorneys in the country and a man with great integrity. He had helped me to formulate a provisional application but is retired, so when it came time to file the non-provisional, I needed someone else. He recommended Randi and a few years and one granted patent later, I couldn’t be more grateful to know her as an attorney and as a person. I came to her as a visual artist with a somewhat atypical invention to say the least. It was easy for me to explain its value as an educational, aesthetic and ethical invention but to translate this into the hyper-specific literal language of patent law was a feat in itself. The attorney who originally referred me to Randi only somewhat jokingly said “it took all his brain power” - so, a challenge! In hindsight, the challenge was really to translate my artistic invention into a balance of straightforward materials configuration information as well as finding a way to extract and indicate the importance of the art itself as applied to the literal material configuration of the invention. Randi needed to be an extremely good listener, always, and that she was. She has had to continually adapt and finely tune my application based on new information and understanding; and she excelled at this. I’d venture one of the most important skills one could require from an IP attorney is their willingness to truly engage, to learn more about and understand what it is you are doing; and Randi and her team have always done this. The other thing I love about Randi is her strategic clarity. Her decades of experience enable her to filter the complexity of your IP through that experience and legal knowledge and come out with a clear, comprehensive but concise strategy for moving your IP forward. And! She is a total joy to work with, enthusiastic, fun and cheerful. Aside from the legal nuts and bolts I’d say having someone who genuinely wants to help facilitate your success is almost just as important. Long story short, Randi is an actual gem. I hope to be working with her for years to come!

Then Look no further!!
Even when the Examiner had denied my patent application. Not once, but twice!!
Since Randi had did a proper search before starting on my patent application. Randi felt very Confident about my idea being patinable before we even started the patent process.
So when the examiner presented us with his reasons of the non final denial of my patent. Randi proceeded with the proper procedures, along with calling for a personal phone conversations with the examiner, and the examiners supervisor, more than once..
Not sure word-for-word how the conversations went, but it was obvious to me. Randi was pointing out all the specifics of the uniqueness of my idea.
Because soon after we were contacted by the examiner that my patent had been Approved..
And has since been Granted!!
Randi also did my trademarks, that also took a little bit of corresponding with the examiners. And again, Randi got the job done!!
If you are an entrepreneur like myself, and if you are ever in need of protecting your IP / idea.
I would most definitely Recommend Considering Sagacity Legal.
Randi and her staff is the best!!
Sincerely, Satisfied Client, And Now Patent Owner!!!

Inventor and co-founder, Bolt On IP
As an inventor and co-founder of Bolt On IP, I knew we had innovative, first of their kind inventions. Randi and the team at Sagacity took those inventions and made them into real IP assets with five granted patents. Now, our goal is to monetize the patent portfolio by sale or license. Potential buyers have told us that the patents are very well written, highly enforceable, broad and of great value. In fact, one potential buyer said that they are worth as much as one billion dollars.
