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.

Independent Counsel Disclosure: Mark Trenner is an independent registered patent attorney. While Mark Trenner provides services to clients who may also work with 52 Launch, Trenner Law Firm and 52 Launch are separate and independent entities. 52 Launch does not practice law or provide legal opinions. All legal services are provided exclusively by Trenner Law Firm under a separate engagement agreement.

Client Testimonials

"Consistent and Transparent. Mark has been very helpful to work with over the last 6 years. He has worked with us on filing four patents! We have been issued two and the other two are pending. We have also worked with Mark on filing our trademark."

Phillip

"Mark did a great job assisting me with my trademark. At first, after applying on my own, my trademark was denied, but after an appeal through Mark they accepted it. If I were to do it all over again I would go through Mark at the Trenner Law Firm, LLC."

Ryan

"We hired Mark Trenner and his law firm to help us patent our first to market product and Mark was a pleasure to work with. He was always available when we had any questions and guided us through the entire process. He made suggestions and worked with our needs as they arose. One of the great things about using Mark is his flat fee costs- knowing this was a great benefit being that we were a new company. We highly recommend Trenner Law Firm and will continue to use him in the future!"

Make your Patent Work for You

Securing intellectual property is a key step for innovation - but what happens next? 52 Launch offers a path beyond the patent to bring the product to real users: product development, branding, prototyping, and go-to-market strategy.

5 Things to Know Before Working with a Patent Attorney and Bringing Your Product to Life

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.
