More about Feeney Law Group

Feeney Law Group provides intellectual property services to inventors, startups, small businesses, and established companies, helping clients protect new products and technologies through utility patents, design patents, provisional applications, trademarks, copyrights, and related IP protections. For an entrepreneur developing a physical consumer product, the firm can address both functional features through utility patent protection and the ornamental appearance of a product through design patents, while also assisting with trademark protection as the product develops into a commercial brand.

The firm also approaches intellectual property as part of a broader commercialization strategy, offering assistance with licensing, portfolio management, IP planning, valuation, and monetization. This can be useful for early-stage companies that need to decide not only what can be protected, but which intellectual property is worth pursuing as they allocate limited resources and prepare to bring a product to market.

Nathan Martin contributes to that startup-focused approach as the firm’s Director of Patent Innovation and Startups. His role centers on working alongside founders and the firm’s attorneys during the early evaluation of technologies, helping connect the technical details of an invention with patent strategy, competitive positioning, and longer-term portfolio development.

I found that within Feeney Law Group instantly. Their approach and communication not only helped me understand the process(es) every step of the way, but they also take the time to educate you. Less than 2 years later I have a globally selling product that is fully protected. We are set up for great success and wouldn’t be in this amazing position without: Donald, Dan, Alan, and the whole Feeney team! When was the last time you looked forward to talking with a law firm?

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.
