Here to protect your intellectual property 
 
meet The Inventor’s Friend!

Before opening The Inventor’s Friend in 2021, I began my career at a specialize IP law firm in New England. My clients ranged from international corporations with large, global patent portfolios to individual inventors applying for a single patent on their first invention. I enjoyed meeting the new inventors and small business owners so much, I decided to build an entire practice around it. 

​

After returning to school to obtain an MBA from the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics, in New Hampshire, I started The Inventor’s Friend as flat-fee legal services firm design to help small business owners obtain the strongest possible IP protection for their ideas and inventions before taking them to market.

​

Today I work with engineers, doctors, scientists, and entrepreneurs from across the country — supporting their creativity and hard work with solid IP protection.

I have been working with Nate for over a year now and extremely pleased with his work and advice. Our work has focused on design patents, utility patents, and trademarks both domestic and international. He’s been a wealth of knowledge and very responsive; most times replying within 12 hours and willing to set up a call to go into more detail. I highly recommend Nate and The Inventors Friend.
