Sean talked through the entire trademark process, and was very upfront and informative about what to expect when filing a trademark. He explained his fees to ensure there weren't any surprises. Sean has been very prompt, professional, and even recommended additional descriptions when filing a trademark to help make the trademark as robust as possible. I would highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Sean Bradley. Mr. Bradley is an attorney that works hard to ensure his clients are protected and that he provides his clients with exceptional service. I have used Mr. Bradley for all of my trademark needs and he has went above and beyond to make sure my company is protected. Looking for a honest, experienced, and professional attorney that won't overcharge you, but will get the job done right, look no further. Mr. Bradley is the attorney you will want to work with.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
