FIRM OVERVIEW
Since 1995

Hello and Welcome!
MBV has been serving all levels of clients since 1995. Whether you are an individual inventor working in your basement, someone looking to start your own company, or a successful company trying to protect your products, welcome to our website! Do you have questions about how to take the next step to protect your ideas or inventions? We invite you to submit questions to us for a free, no obligation initial consultation*. We are excited to hear about your concepts and explain your options to protect your invention, company name or copyrightable work.
​
As experienced professionals, we can use our vast intellectual property experience to quickly determine how to best protect you and your ideas. Because we are a small firm, you will be assured that you are working with a fully qualified partner having over 30 years of experience as well as being former Patent Examiners for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
​
Whether you want to exploit your local market or have dreams of international success, we can help you decide how to best protect yourself commensurate with your individual goals. We tailor our advice to each client. We believe the best way to help our clients is to listen carefully to their needs and to educate our clients about intellectual property. In addition, our transparent, simple fee structure allows you the confidence to proceed through the intellectual property process without surprises or hidden fees.
