More about Cognivito, LLC
Stewart Myers founded Cognivito, LLC to give inventors and growing businesses direct access to experienced, technically informed intellectual property counsel. As a USPTO-registered patent attorney and Oregon attorney, Stewart helps clients identify what is truly valuable and protectable in a new product, then build an intellectual property strategy around the way that product will actually be developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed, or sold. He works with individual inventors, startups, and established businesses nationwide on patent, trademark, copyright, licensing, and related intellectual property matters.
Stewart’s path into patent law began in Intel’s corporate licensing group, where he saw firsthand how technology, legal protection, and business strategy intersect. He later earned a degree in computer science and has spent more than 15 years working directly with innovators across consumer products, mechanical systems, software, electronics, artificial intelligence, health technology, manufacturing, and other technical fields. That combination allows him to understand both the details of how an invention works and the broader commercial reasons for protecting it.
For clients working with 52Launch, Cognivito provides legal guidance that complements the product-development process. Stewart can help evaluate patentability, prepare provisional, utility, and design patent applications, respond to the USPTO, protect product names and brands, and address ownership, licensing, confidentiality, and other issues that commonly arise as an idea moves toward market.
Stewart’s approach is practical, responsive, and straightforward. Clients work directly with him, understand the choices in front of them, and receive a strategy tailored to their goals, budget, development stage, and competitive landscape. The objective is not to file paperwork for its own sake, but to help turn innovation into a defensible business asset that supports product launch, growth, fundraising, licensing, and long-term value.

5 Things to Know Before Working with a Patent Attorney and Bringing Your Product to Life
1. File Early: The First-Inventor-to-File System Matters
The United States generally follows a first-inventor-to-file system, so filing early can be important. Inventorship, effective filing dates, prior disclosures, derivation, and other statutory requirements can also affect priority and patent rights.
2. File Before Public Disclosure Whenever Possible
Public disclosure can jeopardize patent rights. U.S. law provides limited one-year exceptions for certain inventor-originated disclosures, but those exceptions do not cover every situation, and prefiling disclosure may prevent patent protection in other countries. Inventors should obtain advice before selling, publishing, crowdfunding, presenting, or publicly demonstrating an invention.
3. Provisional Applications Must Be Detailed
A provisional application should describe the invention thoroughly enough to support the subject matter that may later be claimed. It is not examined and generally expires after 12 months, so an appropriate follow-on application must be filed on time to preserve any potential benefit from the provisional filing.
4. Understand the Timeline
Patent examination is often an iterative process. Timing varies by technology, application type, USPTO workload, and available examination programs. Office actions are common and may require amendments, legal argument, examiner interviews, or other strategic decisions.
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.
Why Work with a Patent Attorney and 52 Launch?
A well-planned patent strategy can help protect qualifying inventions, strengthen a business’s market position, and support licensing, investment, or commercialization goals. Patentability, claim scope, and outcomes depend on the particular facts and the USPTO examination process.
