End-to-End Stability. Consistency of practitioners from application drafting through prosecution and allowance ensures that client goals and strategies are met—we do not have a different person handle the case at every step. As a result, a practitioner at SBMC knows the application's history and can readily make prosecution decisions based on strategies discussed with the client since the beginning and throughout prosecution. Further, all work product at SBMC is reviewed by a partner before being sent to the client. We can provide this type of consistency because people stay at SBMC—turnover is low. We like what we do, who we get to work with, and where we live. Simply put, we enjoy delivering high-quality patent applications that cause our clients to think, "Wow!" because we take pride in our work. Patent Prep' and Pros' is what we do. We like drafting and prosecuting patents—it is our primary focus at SBMC. We draft applications to have drawings and descriptions that are readily understood by a prospective jury and have claims that are detectable in competitors’ products. We also respond to changes in both the law and technology to ensure that our clients are protected both now and in the future. Further, we believe in interviewing examiners during prosecution. This enables practitioners at SBMC to readily achieve an understanding with the examiner to increase prosecution efficiency and results in a valuable increase in patent term. Ready to Deliver Now.
