More about Trenner Law Firm
Trenner Law Firm was built on a simple but powerful premise: intellectual property legal services should be accessible, transparent, and centered entirely on the client’s success. After years of working in traditional law firms, Mark realized that the standard billable-hour model often created a barrier between inventors and their legal counsel. He established Trenner Law to break that cycle, offering a modern, online-based practice that provides high-level expertise without the unpredictability of traditional billing.
What sets Mark Trenner apart is a deep-rooted technical foundation that allows him to speak the same language as his clients. With three engineering degrees—including a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and an M.S. in Environmental Engineering—Mark brings a unique perspective to every patent application. His background spans a vast array of technologies, from software and electronics to mechanical systems and renewable energy. This technical fluency ensures that the "nuance" of an invention is never lost in translation when communicating with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
At Trenner Law Firm, the focus is on strategy rather than just paperwork. Whether you are an individual inventor, a scaling startup, or an established small business, you receive personalized attention directly from Mark. The firm’s hallmark is its flat-fee, project-based pricing. By eliminating the "ticking clock" of hourly billing, Mark encourages open communication, ensuring that clients feel comfortable asking questions and exploring strategies without fear of receiving an unexpected invoice.
Beyond patent prosecution, the firm provides a holistic approach to brand and asset protection. This includes:
- Provisional, non-provisional, and design patent filings;
- Federal trademark registration and brand protection strategy;
- Helping clients prioritize filings to maximize their budget and long-term business value.
With over 25 years of experience, Mark Trenner has helped hundreds of clients secure their ideas and scale their businesses. Based in Colorado but serving clients across the U.S. and internationally, Trenner Law Firm remains a dedicated partner for those who want to turn their innovations into protected, valuable assets.

1. File Early - The First-to-File System is Critical
The US operates on a first-to-file system, meaning whoever files first gets priority rights. In competitive fields where multiple innovators might be solving the same problem, filing as early as possible becomes crucial for securing your invention rights.
2. Avoid Public Disclosure Traps
You have only 1 year from any public disclosure to file your patent application, or you lose your rights forever. Be extremely careful about presentations, publications, or detailed discussions without NDAs - even university presentations can invalidate your patent rights.
3. Provisional Applications Must Be Detailed
Many inventors underestimate provisional applications, but inadequate descriptions can lead to loss of priority rights. Be as detailed as possible - if you don't adequately describe your invention, you're not entitled to the filing date as your invention date.
4. Understand the 18 to 24 Month Timeline
Expect your first patent office response 18 to 24 months after filing. Rejections are normal: over 90% of applications receive initial rejections. Plan for multiple rounds of responses and amendments during prosecution.
5. Align Patent Strategy with Business Strategy
File patents on innovations that create competitive moats, not just any invention. Focus on high-leverage opportunities that add real value to your company: each patent should be a strategic asset that supports your core value proposition and fundraising goals.
