About Maurice
I help inventors transform ideas into strong, enforceable patents. With over 19 years of experience in intellectual property and a background as a former USPTO patent examiner, I bring an insider’s understanding of how patent applications are reviewed and what it takes to secure meaningful protection.
My practice is built around independent inventors and startups—innovators who need clear guidance through a process that can often feel overwhelming. I work closely with clients to explain each step, craft well-structured applications, and anticipate examiner concerns, all with the goal of maximizing the value of their inventions.
Because I’ve been on the other side of the table as a patent examiner, I know how to avoid common pitfalls and position applications for success. Whether it’s a provisional, non-provisional, or responding to Office Actions, I focus on providing practical, affordable, and strategic patent counsel tailored to early-stage innovators.
My mission is simple: to help you protect your ideas and give you the best chance to thrive.
